New Information Kiosk at Mother Frances

TYLER — In a groundbreaking move, the March of Dimes, Children’s Miracle Network, and At Home Healthcare unveil a new kiosk/information center at Mother Frances Hospital-Tyler for use by parents and family members of children born prematurely. Officials say the comprehensive Internet-based system pools the answers to many of the questions that families have when they find themselves unexpectedly with a child in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Mother Frances. According to information from Mother Frances, the kiosk is the first one installed in a Texas hospital.

Parents and family members of premature children can access the kiosk free of charge at any time for answers to NICU-related questions. Funding for the kiosk was provided by At Home Healthcare and Children’s Miracle Network.
