Specialized Care for Children of All Ages
Visitors to Mercy's Pediatric area admire the charming animals and murals that decorate our "Carousel of Caring". Our Nationally Certified Pediatric nurses helped design the unit with children's needs in mind. Many features include:

• Counter tops being low, so children can easily approach the staff.
• Clear Walls and doors, so staff can see their patients and check monitors at a glance. More importantly, little patients can always see caring adults and know that they are never far away.
• Colorful and familiar characters decorate the walls and hallways to help children relax and feel like it is a special place just for them.

We know that children have special needs, and that loving families help them to heal. Our patient rooms are equipped with sleeping accommodations for one parent to stay with the child.
