Pediatrics

Partnerships

Adena Health’s partnership with Nationwide Children’s Hospital allows our smallest patients to receive expert care from specialized pediatric providers and helps bring nationally ranked care and expertise closer to home for patients and families.

Pediatric hospitalists from Nationwide Children’s are board-certified and specially trained to treat patients from birth to 18 years of age. They are on-site at Adena Regional Medical Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing physician services to ensure the best care for your child.

Pediatric hospitalists are committed to helping care for your child from admission to discharge. Upon discharge, hospitalists prepare a detailed report of findings and treatment plans that is also sent to your child’s primary care physician. This collaboration fosters seamless coordination between Adena and Nationwide Children’s Hospital, leading to the best possible patient outcomes.

Specialty programs and treatments

Our pediatric therapy services provide one-on-one occupational, physical, and speech therapy for children from birth through age 18. Many children may need more than one therapy specialty, so our therapists work together as a team to set goals, coordinate schedules, and create a care plan that targets your child’s unique needs.

Since we see your child on a regular basis, we can also partner with your child’s therapist to identify potential issues sooner. We'll send updates to your child’s pediatrician and help coordinate referrals to other specialists as needed.

Our sports physicals are conducted by professionals trained in sports physical exams and include a complete history and physical examination, discussion on nutrition, sleep habits, and physical development; and guidance on health risks and preventive health.

We also provide a platform for discussing important issues like drug, tobacco, and alcohol avoidance, ensuring a trusting relationship with families.
