Infirmary Health’s pediatricians in our outpatient clinics and at
Thomas Hospital specialize in providing the highest quality of children’s
healthcare on the Gulf Coast.
What Is a Pediatrician?
Pediatrics is the study, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders
in children and the young from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric
care, while similar to treatments for adults, is specialized in that the
treatments are focused for the less mature bodies of children and the
child’s growth and development is taken into account.
Outpatient Pediatric Clinics
Our pediatricians care for the healthcare needs of children from birth
to full adulthood. Since treating children’s healthcare needs can
come with unique challenges, pediatricians are skilled at providing medical
services while also making children and families feel safe and comfortable.
Some services provided by our pediatricians include treating:
Injuries
Body disorders
Genetic and congenital disorders
Developmental problems
General healthcare services
Pediatricians also administer vaccines to children and advise parents on
the best ways to keep their children healthy. Regular visits to a pediatrician
by a child and their parents better the child’s health and sets
them up for a chance at a healthy adulthood.
If your child is injured or sick, you can expect the very best assistance
from the pediatric hospitalist team at Thomas Hospital. Available 24 hours
a day, seven days a week, our pediatric hospitalists ensure that when
your child needs admission to our hospital, they are getting constant
and quality care. While seeing your child sick or injured can be frightening
or overwhelming, Thomas Hospital’s pediatric hospitalists will provide
the very best of care to your child to ensure that they can get back to
growing again. Their goal to be the very first choice in pediatric medicine
on the Gulf Coast.
