Located in the Child & Adolescent Specialty Center at the new CentraCare Health Plaza link to Health Plaza, we offer a wide range of pediatric specialties. The Center is made up of four general areas, including Pediatric Rehabilitation, Behavioral Health Clinic – Child & Adolescent Services, Pediatric Short Stay and Pediatric Specialty Clinic.

We provide:

• An entire area dedicated to kids with special needs.
• A warm, child-friendly environment.
• Easy communication and collaboration among different pediatric disciplines. As is the case for children with special needs, they and their families often have more than one medical problem needing attention.
• Resources for families. If parents have questions, or if they don't know where to turn, they can call us.
