Connecting families to comprehensive services

North Shore Medical Center’s primary care network connects patients and their families to many important services, including information and guidance on wellness and preventive medicine. If your child needs to see other specialists, our pediatric primary care physicians are a trusted source of referrals.

Pediatric Hospitalists

Pediatric hospitalists work exclusively in the hospital. If your child is admitted to MassGeneral for Children at North Shore Medical Center, our team of pediatric hospitalists will manage his or her care during their stay. They will closely monitor your child and be accessible in cases of emergencies or if concerns arise. Our pediatric hospitalists know every specialist and department in the hospital, ensuring fast turnaround of tests and treatments. They will keep your child’s pediatrician informed and ensure a smooth transition of care back to the pediatrician after your child is discharged. If your child doesn’t have a regular pediatrician, our hospitalists can help you find one.
