Pediatrics is a 38 bed medical surgical floor located within Women and Children’s Hospital. Our nurses focus on the medical needs and treatment of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults up to 21 years of age.

Our department provides educational opportunities to promote a solid foundation in caring for our patients.
