Pediatrics

peds99916034 Pediatric doctors at TriHealth Group Health specialize in the care and treatment of infants, children and adolescents. They also manage acute and chronic illness and behavioral problems, from newborn through college age.

Pediatricians originated the concept of a “medical home.” In this approach, a pediatrician manages a child’s physical, mental and emotional well-being through every stage of development – in good health or illness. The pediatrician leads a team of medical staff who collectively take responsibility for the ongoing care of the child.

The health care needs of children are different from those of adults. Pediatricians have been specially trained to deal with these special needs. Whenever your child needs health care, you should look to your TriHealth Group Health pediatrician for guidance.
