Pediatric Hospital Medicine

Cook Children's Hospitalist Group is a team of pediatricians who specialize in the care of patients requiring admission to the hospital. One of the hospitalists will see your child daily, review labs and imaging, and is available 24 hours a day to manage any urgent medical needs of hospitalized children.

Patients may be referred to the Hospitalist group through the Emergency Department, the intensive care unit, their private physician, or as a direct transfer from outside hospitals.
Once the patient is admitted, hospitalists remain in close contact with everyone involved in the child's medical care.
Hospitalists help patients and families move toward discharge by following up on tests, adjusting treatments and monitoring progress. They offer families the necessary time to ask questions and discuss options.
Because our hospitalists remain on site, they can respond quickly to any emergency, help patients transfer out of intensive care settings and shorten the overall time spent in the medical center.

Our hospitalist team

We use a team-based approach to provide the highest level of care in the diagnosis and treatment of patients admitted to Cook Children's. Whenever necessary, our team of hospitalists will consult with other subspecialists to broaden the team's care in more complex cases. Cook Children's has a large medical staff with numerous subspecialty programs, both medical and surgical, available to help care for your child. The professional opinion of each team member is considered in developing a plan of care for your child. However, parents remain an important member of this team, and their input is encouraged on all things related to the care of their child.
