Pediatrics

Children hospitalized at Kadlec Medical Center receive around–the–clock care from one of three full time Pediatric Hospitalists. These are specially trained pediatricians who work solely in the hospital and do not have an outside practice. This allows them to focus exclusively on hospitalized children.

Kadlec has also formed a partnership with Seattle Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center. The agreement initially focuses on Kadlec’s pediatric hospitalist program and ultimately will incorporate other components of pediatric specialty services for infants and children needing hospital services.

Collaborating with Children’s assures that Kadlec nurses, doctors and other health care professionals have the ability to easily consult with their colleagues in Seattle. Sharing protocols and educational opportunities assures the finest, up-to-date pediatric practices are in place throughout Kadlec from the emergency department, to the nursery, to the dedicated pediatric unit, and across all of the clinical therapies.
