Conditions We Treat

Our Hospital Medicine experts treat the full range of pediatric medical conditions. From illnesses commonly seen in the hospital – such as pneumonia, asthma and bronchiolitis treatments – to complex chronic conditions, our pediatric hospitalists offer a broad spectrum of medical knowledge. We are experts at teamwork, coordinating the services provided by many different clinicians into a cohesive care plan for your child.

For children with multiple hospital stays and complex medical needs, our hospitalists can step back and take a holistic approach. This perspective often allows us to see a pattern that leads to a new diagnosis – and a new plan for your child’s treatment and recovery.

We know that your child is more than their list of symptoms. No matter what health issue they face, we’re here when your child needs in-hospital care.
