Welcome to American Family Children’s Hospital!Welcome to American Family Children’s Hospital!
This activity book is to help you learn about going the operating room at American Family Children’s Hospital (AFCH). Many kids go to the operating room (OR) for surgery. Surgery is something doctors do to help fix a part of your body. Other kids go the OR so the doctors can look inside their body or do a test to help them feel better.
Remember to bring your favorite stuffed animal, blanket or movie. If you have any questions before your surgery about AFCH, check out our website at www.uwheathkids.org.
