At West Side Pediatrics, our goal is to provide a Medical Home for all of our patients. We are part of the Tristate PHO, a large group of hospital and community-based pediatricians committed to quality care initiatives designed to improve the health of all children in our community. A main focus of the TriState PHO is on improving the care coordination of children with Special Health Care Needs. This includes all patients with developmental delays and mental health concerns, along with patients with syndromes and other chronic illnesses.
Families with children with Special Health Care Needs can access a wealth of community resources through the following webpages:
This website has a comprehensive listing of links to information about education, support groups, camps, financial resources, transition planning, and much more.
In addition, Children’s Hospital’s Family Resource Center (513-636-7606) has an excellent staff that can also help families track down information and resources.
If your child has a special need and you feel it is not being addressed, please let the doctor know at your next visit.
If you or your child needs to be seen in a handicapped-accessible exam room, we have one available on the bottom level of the building. Please tell the receptionist when you schedule your appointment that you would like to be seen in that room.
