Pediatric Care Unit (Bend)
We treat the whole child — body, mind and spirit in a quiet, safe wing of our hospital in Bend. As the only designated Pediatric Care Unit in Central Oregon, we're honored to provide treatment for:
- Bone and nerve injuries
- Childhood diabetes
- Gastrointestinal illnesses
- Heart conditions
- Neurologic conditions
- Pre and Post surgical patients
- Respiratory illnesses
- Trauma
We also provide supplemental care for children being treated by physicians at other major hospitals. This allows your child to remain close to home during treatment and therapy.
Respect and Safety
Because you deserve to know your child is in a safe environment, we've made security a top priority. We keep the Pediatric Care Unit locked at all times and allow a parent to be present 24 hours a day.
To respect the special physical and emotional needs of children, we offer private examination and treatment rooms. To respect the rights of parents, we make every effort to communicate with you about your child's condition and treatments and include you in their care.
Pediatric Care Team
Everyone on our care team, medical and nursing personnel alike, is trained and certified to treat children. A pediatric cardiologist from The Heart Center is always available. Our support staff includes a diabetes educator, social workers and dietitians.
Special Activities for Kids
Volunteers in Pediatrics, a dedicated group of moms, provide toys and offer playtime so parents can get much-needed respite. Two Fun Centers from the Starlight Starbright Foundation make it possible for children to play video games and watch TV while hospitalized.
