Children's Services
Pediatric Primary Care
Pediatrics is a specialty concerned with the physical, mental, and social health of children from birth to young adulthood. Pediatric care encompasses a broad spectrum of health services ranging from preventive health care to the diagnosis and treatment of acute or chronic diseases. A pediatrician can accurately determine the child’s health status, serve as a consultant and make use of other specialists when needed.
Because the child’s welfare is very dependent on the home and family, the pediatrician supports efforts to create a nurturing environment. Such support includes education about healthful living and anticipatory guidance for both patients and parents. Newborn? Toddler? Teenager? Your kids are well-covered.
From your very first visit, you'll notice that our pediatric services are some of the most advanced and up-to-date in all of Michigan.

Pediatric Hospital Medicine
Hospital medicine refers to the medical care you receive while in the hospital. A pediatric hospitalist is a physician who has been trained in pediatrics and has advanced expertise in caring for the complex needs of a pediatric hospitalized patient. Children and adolescents who are hospitalized usually have more acute (or urgent) healthcare needs, requiring more management than other, non-hospitalized patients.
Hospitalists oversee your medical care, working closely with other patient care staff and physicians. They also connect with your primary care physician to coordinate and manage medications, treatments, and other medical needs while hospitalized. Trinity Health IHA Medical Group Pediatric Hospital Medicine hospitalists care for children and adolescents at Trinity Health Michigan Hospitals with conditions including:
- Respiratory illnesses, such as pneumonia or influenza
- Infectious diseases
- Recovery from injury or surgery
- Problems with ongoing issues such as asthma or diabetes
Neonatology
Neonatology, or neonatal medicine, is the specialized care of newborn infants. It’s a subspecialty of pediatrics. Neonatologists usually care for premature or seriously ill infants in the special care nursery or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). These physicians have completed three years of additional fellowship training in neonatal medicine, following their pediatrics residency. Neonatology includes treatment for:
- Breathing difficulties
- Birth defects
- Premature births
