At Hendricks Regional Health, we understand that children aren’t just small adults. They require individualized, developmentally appropriate care from an experienced staff trained in pediatric health. Our services for kids encompass everything from well child care, such as immunizations and physicals, to specialty care for conditions like asthma, childhood diabetes or other health problems.

Our team is recognized nationally for our high safety standards and patient experience, with pediatric nurses trained in caring for both children and mothers. And parents and family members can feel confident and comfortable knowing we have pediatric hospitalists specializing in inpatient care at our dedicated pediatric unit around-the-clock, providing 24/7 support.
