Inpatient Pediatric Care

When home remedies aren't enough, you can trust the familiar pediatricians from Adena Health System to provide the same compassionate care in the hospital as they do during regular checkups.

The Pediatrics Unit at Adena Regional Medical Center specializes in treating children with various medical conditions and those undergoing day procedures. Our services include:

  • RSV treatment is a viral infection that can lead to bronchiolitis or pneumonia.
  • Diabetes management.
  • Treatment for asthma-related issues.
  • ENT surgeries, such as tonsillectomies, adenoid removal, and ear tube insertion.
  • Post-operative care for appendectomies.

Our dedicated pediatric nurses understand the intricacies of acute pediatric care and value the family's role in a child's health journey. We encourage and respect the involvement of the entire family in the healing process.

Adena Pediatric Rehabilitation Services

Our pediatric rehabilitation programs provide one-on-one occupational, physical, and speech therapy for children from birth through age 18. Many children may need more than one therapy specialty, so our therapists work together as a team to set goals and create a care plan that targets your child’s unique needs. Because we see your child on a regular basis, we can also help your doctor identify potential issues sooner. We send updates to your child’s pediatrician and help coordinate referrals to other specialists as needed.

If your child is working with two or three of our therapists, we will do everything we can to schedule therapy appointments back-to-back so that you only have to come one day a week.
