Calvert Memorial provides many programs and services for families and children. Some bring specialized pediatric care closer to home. Others make the hospital experience a lot less traumatic. At every step, we encourage parents to be involved – to ask questions and share their concerns.
Pediatric Hospitalists
Calvert Memorial has on staff board-certified pediatric hospitalists who specialize in the care of children who are admitted to the hospital. They are fully trained in pediatrics with an emphasis on the care of acutely ill children. They are on hand, seven days a week and are available anywhere in the hospital when a child needs care. They work with families, nursing staff, other doctors and the child's primary care physician to coordinate care.
