The Get Well PlaceSM. Color it anything but blue.

Sick children impact families and business. They cause their parents to miss 13 to 14 days of work a year. And they cost employers about $100 a day in lost productivity.

So it's no wonder why parents and employers alike have embraced The Get Well PlaceSM. Staffed full-time by a Pediatric Registered Nurse, the Get Well PlaceSM takes care of mildly sick and chronically sick children who are enrolled in Rainbow StationSM and mildly sick children who aren't.

The Get Well PlaceSM is architecturally separated from the rest of Rainbow StationSM and can accommodate up to 20 children. After a quick diagnosis by the RN, children are sent to one of four rooms: Woozy Station for gastrointestinal illness, The Sniffle Stop for respiratory illness, The Spot Stop for chickenpox, and The Rest Stop for convalescent care.

With parental consent, Rainbow StationSM will even pick up sick children from school or from other child care centers.

The Get Well PlaceSM is a great comfort to ailing children and a godsend to working parents. As a bonus, employers will often pay for the service rather than have their employees miss work.
