Pediatric Care
Caring for our littlest patients takes a big commitment. And no other hospital in Hernando cares for kids more than Bayfront Health Spring Hill. With a number of pediatricians on our medical staff, and nurses who are certified in Pediatric Advanced Life Support and specially trained in pediatric nursing, we adapt our care to the special needs of our youngest patients.
We go to great lengths to involve you in your child’s care and treatment, with parent rooming in and meals. The child in a healthcare setting has special needs unlike those of the adult patient. Recognizing those needs, our pediatric nurses strongly encourage family-centered care in our designated pediatric area (complete with a children’s playroom). Special features include a six-bed unit with one private room, "tugboat" transport to other departments, separate playroom with age appropriate toys and unrestricted visiting for immediate family.
Whether it's an annual check-up or treatment for a serious illness, our pediatricians take your child's health as seriously as you do. We offer a variety of pediatric care services, including:
- General physicals and exams
- Prenatal counseling
- Newborn and infant care
- Adolescent care
- Diagnosis and treatment for acute and chronic illness
- Camp, school and sports physicals
- Immunizations and screenings
- Sleep disorders
- Preventive care
- Pediatric surgery
- Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for critically ill or premature infants
