for Your Child
Your Child’s Health Home
At Shawnee Health, we believe that our commitment to caring for the whole child and family sets us apart in providing the best possible care for your child.
We provide a medical home for your child. This means that, in addition to primary care, we can provide dental care, nutrition services, counseling, and on-site behavioral health care.
Our Shawnee Health doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants are able to care for your newborn. They are trained in Family Medicine which includes infant and child care.
Our comprehensive care for your child starts the minute they are born. Learn more about our Fourth Trimester Program and how we can help your family adapt to the changes of having a new baby in your home.
