With more than 80 board certified specialists in general pediatrics, neonatology, and the pediatric subspecialties, the Pediatrics Department provides quality care in nearly every pediatric discipline. Our staff is dedicated to providing the best possible care for all children.
The fifth floor of the main hospital is dedicated to Inpatient Pediatrics and includes a 30-bed General Pediatric Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and Procedural Sedation Services.
