Mobile Library
This is a service for patients and their caregivers only. On Fridays, the Family Learning Place staff provide an assortment of periodicals for our patients and caregivers via our mobile library cart. However, caregivers are more than welcome to visit our library during our hours of operation to choose books. CHAM patients and caregivers can also call the library. A Family Learning Place staff member will bring books to your room. All books are yours to keep.
Respite Friday
Every Friday, the Family Learning Place hosts an activity offered to our inpatient caregivers only. This is a reminder to our caregivers to take time to care for themselves. Call ahead for updates or cancellations. Please use our EVENTS TAB for more information.

Outreach Specialists serve as a link between staff and families. In collaboration with the medical team and the Family Learning Place, they help families learn about hospital services and offer support.
