Pediatric Care

At The University of Kansas Health System, our pediatric care team’s main goal is keeping kids and families healthy and happy. When you choose our care team, you are choosing partners in the care for your child from birth to adulthood.
This means being there for the delivery of your baby, caring for them in their first hours and providing care from the neonatal period through infancy. It means establishing primary care for your newborn as they grow, as seasons change, when school begins and life puts new challenges in front of them as they transition into adulthood. And it means providing specialty care when needed and the expertise that only an academic medical center can deliver – healthcare based on proven practices.
In our patient-centered medical home, your child and family are matched with a team of healthcare professionals, led by your pediatrician, who work together for you. This gives you a comprehensive spectrum of care and helps us build strong relationships with patients and their families.
