Pediatrics

At St. Luke's, we believe that all children deserve the opportunity to reach their potential. Every day, our pediatric experts work to provide our patients and families with a brighter future.

And because kids aren't just small adults, our staff is trained to care for childrens' special needs. St. Luke's is home to Cedar Rapids' only Pediatric Hospitalist program, exclusively caring for kids in the hospital. We respect and welcome parents and caregivers as partners in caring for children and we extend our services to provide care and support for the whole family.
