  • Child Life Specialists

    Our Child Life Specialists work with the clinical team to reduce stress and create an environment that helps support your child’s emotional and physical health. With age-appropriate education and therapeutic play, your child can feel comforted and better understand their treatment and medical care.

  • Dehydration Treatment

    ​​​​​When an IV drip is needed to treat moderate to severe dehydration, we’ll put your child at ease. We’ll explain the process, helping them understand why it’s needed and hold their hand through it all, ensuring they are back to safe hydration levels.

  • ECHO Scans

    ​​​​​If there are concerns with your newborn’s heart, we offer same-day ECHO scans with the support of the AdventHealth for Children pediatric cardiology team. The cardiologist can review the scans and provide guidance for any required treatment or next steps in care.

  • Gastroenterology Care

    Children who suffer from gastroenterology conditions can now receive care within our hospital. Our team can perform on-site endoscopies and colonoscopies, which allow us to diagnose and treat diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis and provide your child with comfort and care.

  • General and Orthopedic Surgery

    You don’t have to travel far for general or orthopedic surgical needs. Our surgeons can provide services for pediatric patients who are school-aged or older. Combined with our surgical and orthopedic specialists available at the on-site specialty clinic, your child can receive care close to home.

    To treat your newborn’s jaundice, we use phototherapy. This treatment makes it easier for your baby's liver to break down bilirubin and remove it from their blood. This service is also provided to discharged patients who are unable to see a pediatrician on time.

  • Respiratory Care

    Our team is prepared to provide your child with care for any and all respiratory related conditions including asthma, pneumonia, RSV and more. Additionally, we provide high flow oxygen for ill respiratory patients.
