Pediatrics

We provide well baby care and treatment of childhood illnesses and other conditions on an outpatient basis, 18 years old and below. Limited inpatient care is provided at the hospital. Routine outpatient appointments are usually available within 5 to 7 days or sooner if the child's condition is acute. Urgent conditions should be brought to the Urgent Care clinic. Well baby appointments are provided at one week, two weeks, two months, four months, six months, nine months, 12 months, 15 months 18 months and 24 months and then annual well child checks from age 2. Note: The child who has the pediatric appointment should be the only child to enter the clinic due to sick children transmit contagious diseases to well children very quickly, it is difficult to effectively manage a clinic if it becomes overcrowded with children, and a hospital can be a dangerous place for an unattended child. A child’s appointment time requires important communication between the parent and the physician. This important element can often be hindered if the parent is simultaneously minding other children.
