When it comes to your child, you want them to have the best care possible. Choosing a medical provider for them is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.
The CMH Pediatric Clinic is the only specialty clinic for children (from birth to the age of 18) in our region. Our pediatricians are uniquely trained and qualified to address the physical, emotional, social and developmental needs of infants, children, and teens.

As a team, we are dedicated to the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents, and we are committed to providing your children with the best medical care possible. Our goal is to establish a long and healthy relationship with your family.
As a person-centered care organization, we support that as a parent or guardian, you are an important part of your child’s healthcare team. We work collaboratively with you and strive to provide information and ongoing support that helps to maintain the physical and emotional health of your child so that they may reach their full potential.
When you’re a parent, questions about your kid’s health often come up at the worst times. MD 4KIDS is an app just for these times. Make smart decisions about when to head to the clinic and which illnesses or injuries you can manage on your own.
Preventive care is an important part of a child’s comprehensive healthcare. Well-child checkups provide an opportunity to evaluate and monitor your child’s growth and development and are scheduled to allow the medical provider additional time to assess and discuss your child’s health as well as to address your questions and concerns.
We follow the American Academy of Pediatric guidelines for recommended well-child checkup dates:
