Bluestem Health Pediatrics: Where Kids Come First

The health and well-being of our young patients are central to our mission, and we are introducing a dedicated pediatric clinic to provide the best pediatric care in Lincoln. Effective January 1, 2026, Bluestem Health Pediatrics will be exclusively located at our Health 360 clinic (pediatric care was previously provided at our Kreshel Clinic). Now known as Bluestem Health Pediatrics at Health 360, this clinic will be where our experienced and compassionate pediatricians will provide exceptional medical care for kids, from newborn through age 18. 

Pediatric Care

Having a pediatrician means your child’s care is guided by someone who truly understands kids at every stage of growth and development, and the unique health needs that change over time. Our pediatricians are trained to spot concerns early, answer questions big and small, and support not only your child but also parents, because we know caring for kids means caring for the whole family. 

At Bluestem Health, we take time to listen, explain, and get to know your child beyond the chart. We build relationships that are based on familiarity, compassion, and expertise. The result is a welcoming, trusted partnership where your child feels safe and understood. You can feel confident they are receiving the right care from infancy through adolescence.

Beginning January 2, 2026, our pediatricians will start seeing patients at Bluestem Health Pediatrics at Health 360, 2301 O Street.

Our Pediatricians

Our board-certified pediatricians, Dr. Erica Peterson and Dr. Humaria Qasimyar, are known for the thoughtful, compassionate way they care for children and partner with families. They take the time to listen and explain, helping kids feel at ease while giving parents confidence at every visit. With a shared commitment to providing knowledgeable care, Dr. Peterson and Dr. Qasimyar focus on your child’s healthy growth.

Dr. Erica Peterson

“I love the challenge of seeing children from premature babies to young adults because each stage of development has unique characteristics that must be factored into the evaluation.”
