Pediatrics

The goal of the Department has been to address the full spectrum of pediatric problems from primary care to complicated diagnostic dilemmas. The Department consists of the following divisions: Inpatient Pediatrics, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Normal Newborn and Neonatal Intensive Care and Ambulatory Care.

Division of Inpatient Pediatrics/Advanced Pediatric Care

The Pediatric Inpatient Unit at St. Barnabas Hospital is a sixteen-bed unit staffed by our group of attending pediatric hospitalists. The unit provides care to children up to eighteen years of age. Within the unit, the Child Life Room offers patients a safe environment for play. Advanced pediatric care for older children is available in the adult intensive care unit. Younger children who require advanced care are often transferred to local Pediatric Intensive Care facilities.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Pediatric Emergency Medicine at St. Barnabas Hospital functions in a physically separate advanced care facility dedicated to the emergency care of children. St. Barnabas Hospital is a New York State-designated Level I Regional Trauma Center. The physical expansion of the Pediatric Emergency Department has created a large patient- and staff-friendly environment in which patient care is optimized.

Division of Neonatology

The Division of Neonatology includes the Well Baby Nursery (WBN) and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).  Four full-time neonatologists staff the department, with 24-hour attending coverage. The Division of Neonatology is a member of the Bronx Perinatal Consortium.
