When your child is hospitalized, your whole family is affected. That's why family centered care is first and foremost at Northwest Health. We encourage you to stay with your child during medical procedures and overnight visits.
The Pediatric Unit at Northwest Medical Center - Springdale is here to serve the children and youth of our community. This unit is designed to care for all pediatric patients from newborns to age eighteen.
Special Care for Special Patients
Our staff is fully versed in conditions ranging from respiratory disorders to congenital heart conditions, and knows what it takes to comfort little ones in an unfamiliar hospital environment. Unlike other parts of the hospital, some of the procedures are able to be administered in treatment rooms apart from your child's hospital room, so your child experiences less fear or anxiety about the hospital room or bed. Every effort is made to help your child feel more at ease with meals specially tailored to appeal to your child's preferences.
Pediatric services include routine pediatric illnesses and disease.
