Hospitalists
Memorial Children's Hospital is proud to announce the addition of the Pediatric Hospitalist Program. A team of board certified pediatricians is available 24 hours a day to consult and/or assume care for any child in need of in-patient hospitalization. The hospitalist team also works in conjunction with the Pediatric Intensivists to provide Procedural Sedation for procedures that may generate pain or anxiety for the hospitalized child.

Intensivists

The PICU is managed exclusively by Board Certified Pediatric Intensivists, specializing in the care of the critically ill or injured infants and children. In addition to caring for the children within the PICU, the Memorial Intensivists direct the Pediatric Emergency Transport Services Team (PETS), provide Procedural Sedation services in conjunction with the Pediatric Hospitalists, and work closely with the area physicians and surgeons to ensure the on-going quality of care for the hospitalized child.
