Pediatrics
We’re committed to meeting each family’s unique health needs during a child’s life.
We provide many specialized services to children, parents and other healthcare providers. Our medical staff includes board-certified pediatric specialists experienced in providing care for common conditions, serious illnesses and chronic diseases.
As kids grow, we keep pace with their needs providing comprehensive pediatric care. Kids can continue their specialized care with us through adulthood in the same familiar setting. It's a way to continue receiving advanced care in the same place – and from the same people – you and your child already know.
Several pediatric services listed here – endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology and rheumatology – are delivered by Children's Mercy providers. Learn more about this transition.
