Children's Services
Compassionate, expert pediatric specialty care for all your child’s health needs
When your child needs care for an illness, injury or other condition, it’s comforting to know they can get the care they need in a facility specially designed to meet the needs of pediatric patients from birth to age 18.
And because we understand how important it is for children to be near those who love and support them, particularly when faced with an illness or injury, our programs offer expert care without having to travel far from home.
Designed with families in mind.
Our family-centered approach welcomes you and your family as an important part of the healing and recovery process. We encourage you to stay with your child and be an important part of their care team. The Betty H. Cameron Women’s & Children’s Hospital is designed with children and families in mind with features including:
- Private rooms with internet, flat-panel TV and DVD players in all rooms
- Large family spaces
- An interactive playroom with toys and games
- Family kitchen, lounge and laundry facilities on each floor
- Child life services through the Healing Arts Network
Hospital Services
If your child is experiencing seizures or has been diagnosed with epilepsy, he or she may be admitted to the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) for monitoring and evaluation using a combination of electroencephalogram (EEG) testing and video/audio recording. While admitted to the hospital for evaluation information may be collected:
- To record an episode in order to determine whether the episode is a seizure
- To record brain waves (and often seizures) in a patient with known epilepsy in order to guide treatment
Our all-private-room Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides round-the-clock care for premature and seriously ill babies. Your baby’s expert care team includes highly skilled, compassionate neonatologists, specially trained registered nurses, respiratory therapists, medical social workers and others focused on helping your baby develop and thrive.

When your child has trouble sleeping, it can affect other aspects of their life including growth and development, attention and behavior.

Your child may be admitted for a sleep study to help diagnose and treat a variety of sleep disorders including:
- Sleep apnea
- Restless leg syndrome
- Snoring
- Insomnia
- Congenital hypoventilation syndrome
- Night terrors
- Bed-wetting
- Sleepwalking
