    In Our Caring Hands

    When your child has a health issue or disorder that your pediatrician needs support diagnosing or treating, our pediatric specialists are here, with the advanced training and expertise to treat the full range of childhood illnesses and conditions. We collaborate with your child's doctor to provide the most advanced and appropriate care, always with warmth and compassion.

    Many pediatric health issues require ongoing care without hospitalization. Sutter Children's Outpatient Services offers a variety of pediatric interdisciplinary team services. See Pediatric Specialty Care for a full list.

    Emergency Services

    If your child has a serious accident or illness that requires emergency care, you'll be in good hands with our emergency medicine doctors, who are specially trained to work with children. Our Pediatric Emergency Department offers specialty emergency care for critical illness, infectious diseases, concussion treatment, microsurgery and breaks in growing bones.

    Our specialized transport services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond to calls for transfers or for emergency consultation.

    Intensive Care Services

    For children who are critically ill, our pediatric intensive care team offers the highest level of critical care for infants, children and teens in our 20-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Seven pediatric intensivists and more than 75 pediatric subspecialists serve more than 1,300 patients a year and offer consultations to physicians across Northern California. Each specially trained PICU nurse is devoted to providing attentive care to children in this stressful situation. Families are welcome in the PICU and encouraged to remain with their children as much as possible.

    Preparing for Hospitalization and Surgery

    • Preparing For Your Infant's or Toddler's Hospitalization and Surgery
