Medical Day Unit

The Medical Day Unit provides a safe, effective and family centered environment for children and youth requiring medical treatments, diagnostic tests, procedures, assessments, education, and consultations. We treat children with complex chronic illnesses such as Crohn’s disease, liver disease and other gastrointestinal diseases, lupus, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and other rheumatologic diseases, brittle bone disease, kidney disease, biochemical diseases, enzyme deficiencies. These children need infusions of medications to treat these problems. We also treat immune-compromised patients with immune globulin infusions.

This service is provided on a day basis to BC children and families.

The multidisciplinary team members are involved with teaching and research.
