Mission
CHILDREN'S HARBOR PROVIDES REFUGE, RESPITE AND RESOURCES TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A LIFE-ALTERING MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. THE FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS WE SERVE SEEK A SAFE REFUGE WHEN FACED WITH UNEXPECTED LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. OUR COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES COMPLEMENT MEDICAL TREATMENT THROUGH THOUGHTFUL EFFORTS WHICH ANTICIPATE NEEDS, FOCUS ON MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELLBEING, AND OFFER A BUILT-IN SUPPORT SYSTEM FAMILIAR WITH EACH FAMILY'S UNIQUE SITUATION.WE SERVE OUR FAMILIES ACROSS TWO CAMPUSES WITH DISTINCT PURPOSES. THE FAMILY CENTER AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, "THE HARBOR", MEETS THE FAMILIES WHERE THEY ARE BY PROVIDING CARE SERVICES TO INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT CHILDREN, CAREGIVERS, AND SIBLINGS. THE LAKE MARTIN CAMPUS OFFERS FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO STEP AWAY FROM THE STRESSORS OF THE HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT FOR A SENSE OF NORMALCY THROUGH PARTNER CAMPS AND PROGRAMMING.
