Pediatrics
Quick Links
Children under the age of 21 can be treated by a pediatrician who is specifically trained in caring for children’s physical, behavioral and mental health.
The Department of Pediatrics at Cook County Health promotes the health of children and adolescents, delivers high-quality care, strongly advocates for children and adolescents, and is responsive to the changing needs of our community and society.
Pediatricians provide comprehensive care in everyday health and can treat a range of health issues, such as infections and injuries. Children should see pediatricians annually for a physical exam to check for developmental milestones and to receive any necessary vaccinations or immunizations.
