Kern Medical recently opened a new inpatient pediatric unit at its hospital. Kern Medical’s pediatric team includes four pediatricians, two pediatric hospitalists, four nurse practitioners and physician assistants, subspecialists in nephrology, gastroenterology, and cardiology from UCLA and Valley Children’s in Madera, as well as the neonatologists in the community.



These pediatric specialists provide services to pediatric patients and newborns in the hospital’s inpatient pediatric unit, normal newborn nursery, and neonatal intensive care unit, along with outpatient pediatric clinics located at Columbus Street and Stockdale Highway.



“This project is a long time coming. It ensures much better access for pediatric patients in our community,” says Kern Medical CEO Scott Thygerson. “Kern Medical has such a vital role in our community; it’s a teaching hospital, a trauma and specialty center, and is now even more happy to provide excellent care to its youngest patients.”
