Find comfort, engagement and resources while you’re here.
The common areas of ECU Health Maynard Children’s Hospital provide environments that are immersive, diversionary and engaging. We also ensure that you, your child and family have access to small and large necessities while away from home, from pharmacy services and gift shops to accommodations at the Ronald McDonald House.
It is important that parents take time to ensure their mental health as well while in the hospital, utilize our courtyards for a breath of fresh air or enjoy a moment of relaxation in the serenity room.
Featured Areas
We offer a variety of common areas to bring some comfort and hopefully even a little fun, to your visit here.

Lobby Lagoon
From the outside, the shape of the hospital mimics a ship, complete with ship sails. Once inside, at the shell-shaped lobby desk — the Reception Reef, a receptionist greets visitors. Large sea creatures hang from the cathedral-height ceilings in the lobby — Lobby Lagoon, where you’ll also find a 700-gallon aquarium.
Café Bay
Café Bay is a great place to find light food selections, coffee and other beverages. It is located on the first floor, next to Lobby Lagoon – our main Maynard Children’s Hospital lobby and is open 24 hours.
Treasure Chest
At the Treasure Chest, located in Lobby Lagoon, you may find the perfect gift or toy for your child or family friend. The shop is also stocked with flowers, mylar balloons, cards and various essential sundries and necessities. Hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Maternal Expressions
Maternal Expressions and Newborn Boutique can help you with lactation and mother/baby needs. Located in the Women’s Center at Maynard Children’s Hospital, Maternal Expressions is open weekdays with breast pumps for rent or to purchase, nursing bras and premature baby and newborn items. Staffed by a lactation consultant, you have a resource to provide breastfeeding guidance and specialty items for your baby. Call 252-847-1749 or 252-847-7439 for hours of operation.
Serenity Suite
The Serenity Suite offers a space for meditation and quiet reflection. Families can utilize the serenity space inside the onsite Ronald McDonald House.
Maynard Children’s Pharmacy
To support the specialized needs of children who are patient’s at Maynard Children’s Hospital our pediatric pharmacy provides services for all patients in both our inpatient and outpatient areas. This team offers a healthy dose of not only focused knowledge but also compassion and caring for children.
Interactive Wall
Just off the main lobby, down the main corridor, is an interactive wall that takes children on an underwater adventure with tropical fish, sea turtles, seahorses, dolphins, whales and a scuba diver. Kids can stay busy for hours, writing words in the sand, dragging sea creatures around and popping floating bubbles.
Outdoor Spaces
Experiencing fresh air is important for the physical and emotional health of both child and parent. We encourage moving outside of the hospital room environment to experience time as a family together in our available pediatric playground and courtyard spaces.
