School Services

Blank Children's Hospital understands that your child's healthcare shouldn't get in the way of their education. To help parents and families provide stable learning conditions, Blank Children's Hospital offers a schooling program. We partner with the Des Moines Public Schools to provide both inpatient and outpatient services for students during their hospital stay. Teachers work with students at their bedside or in our Meredith School Classroom. Your caregiver can arrange for your child to meet with a teacher if needed.
