Pediatric Hospitalists

St. Luke's experienced Pediatric Hospitalist program is lead by Dr. James Matsuda, a board certified pediatrician. Our pediatric hospitalists are solely dedicated to caring for your children, around the clock, while they're at St. Luke’s. Because our team has expertise in pediatric critical care, we can keep patients and families here at St. Luke's rather than transfer them to another hospital when cases become difficult.
 
Our team works with your child's primary doctor to keep your provider informed of admission, discharge and any significant changes in your child's condition during the hospital stay. For more information on St. Luke's Pediatric Hospitalist Program, please call 319/369-7338.
