Parents rarely feel more helpless than when we have a child in the hospital. Luckily for bay area locals, we have Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, formerly called All Children’s Hospital, where the staff is great both with kids and their worried parents. The giant medical compound’s cleanliness and child-friendly aesthetic, combined with the professionalism and caring bedside manner of the doctors and nurses, make a scary and stressful experience more tolerable, because we know our children are in the best possible hands. —Amy Beeman
