Children's Health

At MaineGeneral, we know a child is life's most precious gift.

When you entrust that gift to us, we ensure your child receives the tender and exceptional care for which our health care system is known.

Our highly skilled pediatricians, family practitioners and specialists diagnose problems and provide treatment in a caring way that ensures your child returns to good health.

We also focus on maintaining good health and preventing disease from occuring. From infancy to adolescence, our care includes:

• Nutritional advice and special treatment for eating disorders;
• The Alfond Center for Health's state-of-the-art Maternity & Pediatrics unit, which includes pediatric hospitalists;
• Specialized services for evaluating and treating children with developmental and behavioral problems through the Edmund N. Ervin Pediatric Center;
• Sports medicine for student athletes through MaineGeneral's Sports Medicine program; and
• Well-child care provided by our pediatric practices in Augusta and Winthrop and our various family medicine practices.
