Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine:
Powerful medicine
for small patients
From infantcy through the teenage years, the human
body undergoes many changes and encounters many common childhood diseases
SJMO physicians are familiar with these and to better steer our younger patients
toward the healthiest of outcomes.
St. Joseph Mercy Oakland (SJMO) offers a comprehensive range of services for our pediatric patients and their families, including family medicine, pediatric cardiology, pediatric oncology and an infant sleep apnea program.
Family centered care
Our 30-bed pediatric care unit allows SJMO doctors
and staff to care for children from premature newborns through teens under
a nurturing philosophy of family centered care. Parents are encouraged to
room with their child during the child’s stay, and are provided with
amenities, such as bedside sleep chairs, a continental breakfast and shower
facilities. We know that visits from family and friends are very important
to the recovery of children, and we encourage as many visits as we can.
In this spirit, we offer open visitation for those that members of the family feel it is important for the child to see, including siblings and grandparents. To learn more about family-centered care, please call 248-858-3400.
