The Northwestern Medical Center Pediatric inpatient service is a dedicated team of providers, including Dr. Colleen Moran and Katie Shattuck, PNP. Together, this team is available 24/7 to provide care to a variety of pediatric patients. This includes newborn care, pediatric consults in the emergency room, and pediatric patients who require observation/admission to the hospital.

Nursery, newborn care

Our pediatric providers are available for routine newborn care as well as supporting infants who might require additional treatment. As an expecting family, you might meet our providers before, during, or after the delivery of your newest family member. 

Pediatric care

Our pediatric providers are available for consultation in the Emergency Department and, if necessary, for admission. Our goal is to provide family-centered and evidence-based care for each of our patients. When it is appropriate, we strive to keep families within their community hospital and can safely care for patients with a variety of conditions, such as bronchiolitis, asthma exacerbation, influenza, IV antibiotics, IV hydration, and newborn jaundice, just to name a few.
