Tiny Tiger Tours Join us for a hospital tour designed especially for children! We will visit the Emergency Department, Infection Control, X-Ray, Surgery, the Laboratory and Food and Nutrition Services will provide snack bags to take home. Tours start at 2 p.m. and end 4 p.m. with a new tour departing every 15 minutes. No reservations needed.
Extra Treat: No one wants to come to the hospital, but Galion Community Hospital recognizes the importance of helping your child feel comfortable and secure if the need should arise. Along with touring the hospital, you and your child will also be able to see a critical care helicopter and an ambulance “up close” (availability and weather permitting). Our sincere thanks to MedFlight and the City of Galion for the extra time and effort to add this bonus feature for the benefit of the children.
