Passport to UMMCH 1.0.0

The Passport to University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital (UMMCH) is a noteworthy initiative developed by Certified Child Life Specialists. This program is aimed at both local and global communities, serving to prepare patients and their families for their healthcare experiences.

Structured around Child Life education and preparation materials, this resource provides patients, families, and healthcare providers with access to age-appropriate information. Topics covered include common medical procedures, preparations for hospital stays, and additional resources for families navigating the healthcare system.

The application enhances the ability of parents and caregivers to support children during hospital events by presenting information in an engaging manner. It is organized into five distinct sections:

• Virtual Tours: An overview of the facility's layout and services.
• Procedure Preparation: Detailed information regarding upcoming medical procedures.
• Family Resources: A compilation of supportive resources for families.
• Preparing for Your Hospital Stay: Essential information on what to expect during a hospital visit.
• The Coloring Board: An interactive feature that allows children to color, draw, and learn about body systems.
