Preparing for Your First Day with the Partial Hospitalization Program

When you enter our Outpatient Services at 1440 N. Dayton, you will take the elevators to the 2^nd floor and check in with our patient service representatives .

Once on the 2^nd floor you’ll need to:

Check in with a service representative and inform them that your child is attending the Partial Hospitalization Program. At 9 a.m., the PHP opens, and staff escorts patients to the unit to begin their day. New patients and parents will wait in the waiting room to meet with a program team member for an overview of the program, staff, and family expectations. Please plan accordingly, as these first-day processes may take up to 1.5 hours. You will also identify the names and organizations to receive information while your child is enrolled in PHP. Each parent/legal guardian and patients 12 years and older must complete and sign a Release of Information Consent Form for contact with individuals outside of Lurie Children's (Emergency Contact, School, Primary Care Physician, Therapist, Psychiatrist). After completing all forms, you will meet with a milieu therapist for a tour of the unit with your child.
