Pediatric Specialty and Inpatient Care
Children who require specialty and/or inpatient care have access
to the services they need right at Beverly Hospital. The 11-bed
pediatric inpatient unit at Beverly Hospital is designed especially
for children and their families. Nothing can replace the comfort of
having a parent nearby, so there is plenty of room for mom and dad.
Physicians, nurses, and other members of the staff go out of their
way to accommodate each individual family's needs. In fact, one of
the things that makes Beverly Hospital's pediatric care special is
the staff members' endless capacity for empathy, flexibility,
compassion and warmth.
Highlights of Beverly Hospital's specialty and inpatient
pediatric services include:
- Boston Children's Hospital specialists in cardiology,
gastroenterology, general surgery, neurology and pulmonary medicine
care for children who are hospitalized at Beverly Hospital, have
office hours on site, and work closely with Beverly
Hospital pediatric primary care providers.
- Through the Pediatric Hospitalist Service, every child admitted
to Beverly Hospital has a dedicated hospitalist (a doctor who
specializes in caring for patients who are admitted to the
hospital) overseeing all aspects of his/her care. The pediatric
hospitalist is readily available to staff and to family members to
review test results, adjust the care plan, respond to emergencies,
answer questions and provide status reports to the child's
pediatrician.
- Beverly Hospital and Boston Children's Hospital orthopedic surgeons
collaborate on the diagnosis and treatment of children with
injuries or illnesses that affect the bones, joints or spine.
- Boston Children's Hospital neonatologists care for premature or
ill newborns in Beverly Hospital's Special Care Nursery, a Level II
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
