Welcome to Children‘s Hospital! - My name is Richie Raccoon, the mascot of Children's Hospital located on the 9^th floor of Palmetto Health Richland in Columbia, South Carolina. I've collected lots of information for parents and children about coming to our hospital, and put it all on this website for you to browse.

KIDS CORNER is fun stuff for little ones. They can take a behind the scenes tour of Children's Hospital, play some games in my play room, join my birthday club ... even send a get well card to someone they know in the hospital.

PARENTS PLACE is full of resources and information about keeping your child well and about visits to the hospital.

FINDING A PEDIATRICIAN contains a list of physicians.

CHILDREN'S WELLNESS TIPS contains tips on keeping your child safe and healthy.

THE OTHER TABS above feature directions to the hospital, information about volunteering, and an easy way to contact us if you have questions or require more information.

Enjoy your visit! And if you wish to contact me other than by e-mail, call (803) 296-KIDS. You can also send regular mail to: Palmetto Health Children's Hospital, Five Richland Medical Park Drive, Columbia, SC 29203.
