Hospital medicine at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital
At Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital, experienced pediatric hospitalists are at the center of your child’s care while in the hospital. A hospitalist team oversees all of your child’s care 24/7 and co-manages care with their other specialists. Hospitalists are pediatricians with additional training and expertise in hospital medicine. If your child is staying in the hospital, your child's pediatrician may work with one of our hospitalists to provide care.
Specialized pediatric care while your child is in the hospital
Your hospitalist starts by listening to you and your child. Your child’s care plan is personalized to their needs, addressing the whole child – both physical and emotional health – while they are in the hospital. The hospitalist collaborates with your child’s specialists and keeps their pediatrician informed. We make sure your child is receiving the right care and connects your family to services in the hospital, such as imaging and labs, child life specialists, social workers, school support, and more.
Helping transition your child’s care to home
When your child is released from hospital care, their hospital medicine care team helps transition their care. Your child’s hospitalist shares health records with their pediatrician. We also connect you with other pediatric specialists at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital for ongoing follow-up and specialty care. We work with you to make sure you have all the information you need to care for your child at home.
