Pediatrics

At Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, you’ll find care for children at all ages and stages — from birth through 18 years old. Whether your infant needs the advanced expertise of our Level 2 Special Care Nursery, your child needs a wellness checkup and immunizations, or one of your children needs care for an illness, emergency or ongoing medical condition—you’ll find the medical and surgical resources to meet your family’s needs.

We have more than 60 physicians on staff who specialize in pediatrics, along with a dedicated team of pediatric nurses—all committed to providing the very best care for your children. We’ve partnered with Children’s Memorial Hospital, one of the nation’s top-ranked children’s hospitals, to provide the highest quality care for children. Our hospitalists from Children’s are available on-site at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, 24 hours a day, every day of the year to care for special need situations or provide expert consultations. In addition, we can refer children who need more advanced care to pediatric specialists who are leaders in their fields. Our affiliated pediatricians can address most children’s needs at convenient locations throughout Lake and Cook counties.
