Elliot's Pediatric and Adolescent Care Unit includes 15 private and two semi-private rooms for children with illness or injury. Children and their families are cared for by health care professionals with specialized knowledge and training in the care of children. Family-centered rounds take place every day, to insure that you are fully informed and involved in your child’s treatment and care. These rounds include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutrition and respiratory care, planning your child’s care together with you.
Elliot Health System is proud to have the only Pediatric Emergency Department in New Hampshire. Our providers are ready to provide you with the same safe, compassionate care we always have.
We are here and it’s safe to bring your child into the hospital if they need medical attention. Over the last several weeks, we have seen an increase in late presentations of some illnesses, and this is leading to sicker children.
In this video, you can learn about the extra safety precautions in place to protect you and your child.
We are here for you.
From decorations that are comforting to children and families, to specialized equipment for their needs, the Pediatric and Adolescent Unit is designed for the very special care of children. In addition, integrative medicine techniques help children cope with pain and stress using additional therapies such as music and guided imagery.
The team of professionals caring for children and families include:
Having a child in the hospital can be a very stressful time. The family and child may have fear and worry about the illness or injury. The family’s love and support are very important to the child’s well-being. The child and family are at the center of all the care and treatment provided at Elliot's Pediatric and Adolescent Care Unit. We listen to you and plan care that is sensitive and supportive. We encourage each family to let us know ways we can help at this stressful time.
