Hospital Pediatrics
Pediatric hospitalists are pediatricians who care for children when they are hospitalized. If your child is in the hospital for an illness or injury, you and your family will have the advantage of on-site, round-the-clock, personal attention from our dedicated Wellstar pediatric hospitalists.
