Pediatric Care

Pediatric Services

Lower Lights Health is proud to offer pediatric care services to children of all ages. We believe primary care means whole-family care and so we want to ensure your entire family feels at home and cared for.  Pediatric care encompasses a broad spectrum of health services ranging from preventive health care to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases.

Pediatrics deals with biological, social, and environmental influences on the developing child and with the impact of disease and dysfunction on development.  Children differ from adults anatomically, physiologically, immunologically, psychologically, developmentally, and metabolically.

What to expect during a pediatric appointment:

Your provider will see your baby many times from birth to age 2 and annually from age 2 for “well-child visits.”  Your provider is also the first person to contact whenever your child is sick.  In caring for your child, a provider will:

• Provide physical exams (including school and sports physicals)
• Give recommended immunizations
• Make sure your child is meeting developmental milestones in growth, behavior, and skills
• Diagnose and treat your child’s health, safety, nutrition, and fitness needs
• Answer your questions about child’s growth and development
• Refer to and collaborate with a specialist should your child become ill and need care beyond the provider’s expertise
• Referrals to other services
