When your child is sick, hurt, or not acting like themselves, you want care that understands children and supports families. Adena Health Pediatrics provides care from birth through adolescence, helping families manage routine check-ups, common illnesses, injuries, and more complex concerns close to home.
Pediatric care is about more than occasional sick visits. It helps families support a child's health through every stage of growth and development. At Adena Health, pediatricians care for children from infancy through the teen years and help families understand what is normal, what needs attention, and what steps to take next.
What pediatric care can help with
Adena Health Pediatrics treats many of the concerns families face most often. That includes colds, coughs, ear infections, sore throats, flu, RSV, sinus infections, rashes, pink eye, and urinary tract infections. Providers also care for asthma and other respiratory issues, along with cuts, minor wounds, minor burns, fractures, sprains, and strains.
Pediatric care can also help with concerns that may need more time, follow-up, and coordination. These may include ADHD, developmental delays, anxiety, depression in children and adolescents, and menstrual concerns such as heavy or irregular periods and period pain. For many parents, the visit is not only about treating a symptom. It is also a chance to ask questions, talk through concerns, and get guidance that fits their child's age and stage of development.
Services available through Adena Health Pediatrics
Adena Health Pediatrics includes both outpatient and inpatient care. That means families can get help with everyday illnesses and injuries, as well as more serious conditions that may require hospital care. When a child's needs go beyond a routine office visit, families have a clearer path to the next level of care.
Adena Health also offers pediatric occupational, physical, and speech therapy for children from birth through age 18. When a child needs support in more than one area, the therapy team works together to coordinate care, set goals, and build a plan around that child's needs. Because therapists often see children regularly, they can help identify concerns early and support communication between families, pediatricians, and other specialists.
Sports physicals are another important part of care. These visits include a full history and physical exam, while also giving families time to ask about nutrition, sleep, physical development, health risks, and prevention. For many parents, a sports physical is more than a form. It is another chance to make sure a child is healthy and ready to participate safely.
How Adena Health works with Nationwide Children's Hospital
When a child needs hospital care, families want clear communication and confidence in the team caring for their child. Through Adena Health's partnership with Nationwide Children's Hospital, board-certified pediatric hospitalists are on site at Adena Regional Medical Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week, caring for patients from birth to age 18.
For families, that means access to hospital-based pediatric care closer to home. It also supports a smoother transition after discharge. Pediatric hospitalists guide care from admission through discharge, then share findings and treatment plans with the child's primary care provider. That coordination helps families move from hospital care to follow-up care with a clearer plan.
This partnership is one more way Adena Health Pediatrics helps families get the right care in the right setting, with support during moments that can feel overwhelming.
When to schedule pediatric care
Children should see a pediatrician for routine check-ups, preventive care, and immunizations, as well as when they are sick, injured, or showing changes in growth, behavior, mood, or development. Parents may also want to schedule a visit when symptoms are not improving, when a child needs a sports physical, or when something simply does not seem typical for their age.
Adena Health Pediatrics cares for children from birth through adolescence and treats a wide range of common childhood illnesses and ongoing concerns, including asthma, RSV, ear infections, developmental delays, anxiety, and behavioral concerns.
