Pediatric Behavioral Health Care

Patients can be seen in person at Trinity Health IHA Medical Group, Pediatrics - Arbor Park or Trinity Health IHA Medical Group, Pediatrics - West Arbor. Video appointments are also available through all Trinity Health IHA Medical Group pediatric locations.

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) health care 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.
