Pediatrics is Moving to a New Location

Caring for our young patients has always been at the center of our Pediatrics program at Bluestem Health in Lincoln, Nebraska. Our board-certified pediatricians have been providing exceptional care at our Main clinic, but with the increased number of pediatric patients, we’ve outgrown our space at that location. We are excited to announce that effective August 2, 2021, Bluestem Health Pediatrics is moving to a new location at 3100 N. 14th Street, in the same building as our Bluestem Health Kreshel Clinic.

Important Role of a Pediatrician

The pediatricians at Bluestem Health are licensed to provide care for infants, adolescents, and children up to age 18. They offer full-scope pediatric services so they can manage all aspects of your child’s health – physical, behavioral, and mental care.

Some of the services our pediatricians provide include:

• Routine well-child checkups
• Physical exams
• Immunizations
• Medication management
• Age-appropriate developmental milestones
• Nutrition, physical activity, safety, and other concerns
• Diagnose and treat identified health concerns or disorders
• Hospital care
• Newborn care
• Management of chronic disease
• Diabetes management
• Parenting education

In addition, Bluestem Health’s pediatricians coordinate complex medical care with other subspecialists, such as cardiology, should your child have an illness outside the scope of pediatrics.
