Coordinating Care and Compassion

At the Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital, we understand that admitting a child into the hospital can be frightening, for both child and family. To help alleviate those fears and give you and your child the individualized attention you deserve, we have a created the full-time Pediatric Hospitalist Program. A Pediatric Hospitalist is a board-certified pediatrician who specializes in coordinating the care of children admitted to the hospital.

The Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital is one of the few hospitals in the area that has a full-time Pediatric Hospitalist program. Our specialized and compassionate Hospitalist works with families, nursing staff, and other doctors and pediatricians to organize the stay and treatment of each child.  For children under the care of a Maimonides’ pediatrician, the hospitalist will work closely with the admitting physician. Children admitted to the hospital without a pediatrician will be directly cared for by the Hospitalist. In order to reduce the child’s anxiety, the Maimonides hospitalist evaluates and delivers care that is child-friendly, in an environment created just for children.
