Meritus Medical Center uses pediatric hospitalists to provide compassionate care to children in our hospital. These providers are pediatricians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who are specially trained in providing care for children and adolescents who need advanced inpatient care. They facilitate collaboration, communication, and coordination with all physicians, healthcare personnel, and care team members caring for hospitalized patients. Pediatric hospitalists assist in supporting safe transitioning of patient care within the hospital, and from the hospital to the community.
