Providing Comprehensive Services in a Family-Friendly Environment

The Department of Pediatrics provides a full scope of compassionate primary and specialty care to some of the highest risk children and adolescents in the United States. “One of our challenges is to care for a range of health issues, a continuum from children who are thriving to those who are critically ill,” stated Dr. Peter Sherman, MPH, Chairman, Pediatrics. This care is delivered in the context of the social, educational, environmental, and psychological issues that children face growing up in a vibrant but economically and resource-challenged multicultural community.

Pediatric services are provided in a modern Children’s Wing that includes a 20-bed Inpatient Unit, five-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and a Well Baby Nursery. General and subspecialty care, encompassing Adolescent Medicine, Allergy-Immunology, Behavior-Development, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Infectious Disease, Travel Medicine, Neurology, Pediatric Surgery, and Pulmonology, are offered.

Medical Education

“Our successful model utilizes an interdisciplinary team approach that incorporates the skills of physicians, mental health specialists, social workers, nutritionists, and nurses to address Child and Adolescent health issues, including asthma, diabetes, obesity, sickle cell disease, infectious diseases, behavioral and mental health issues, and other medical conditions.”

— Dr. Peter Sherman, Chairman, Pediatrics

Of particular note is the opening of a Pediatric Specialty Center on the Concourse Campus specifically designed for children requiring evaluation and treatment for chronic illnesses. It is providing state-of-the-art medical care in a modern, child-friendly environment and is the result of years of planning by Dr. Sherman and his staff.
