Treating Your Child Close to Home

Whether it’s a routine checkup, a specialized procedure, or an unexpected emergency, UPMC Children’s in Central Pa. provides care for your child close to home.

With inpatient and outpatient services, we provide high-quality, child-friendly care and resources with infants, children, and teens — and their families — in mind. We treat your child like they’re our own.

Plus, with access to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, which is nationally ranked in all 11 pediatric specialties by U.S. News & World Report, we have even more resources available.

Our Central Pa. Hospitals Care for Kids

UPMC Children’s is right here in central Pennsylvania. That means you can go to any UPMC hospital in the region and feel confident that your child is getting the very best care.

Across our seven hospitals in the region, our teams are ready to assess and treat children with urgent needs. Plus, we have access to pediatric emergency care experts 24/7 at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh if necessary.

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for illnesses or injuries that are serious or life-threatening.

Some hospital visits may lead to overnight stays. Our family-centered teams are ready to care for your child close to home.

UPMC Children's at UPMC Harrisburg has a 72-bed inpatient unit staffed with child life specialists, physicians, and nurses focused on caring for newborns through young adults with mild or critical needs.

For babies who are born early, critically ill, or with a congenital difference, four of the region’s hospitals have a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) providing around-the-clock care.

UPMC Harrisburg is a level III NICU, caring for babies who are more critically ill, very premature, or who require surgery. The unit is on the ninth floor of the Alex Grass Medical Sciences Building, with 42 beds available to support our smallest patients.

Neonatal intensive care is also available at UPMC Lititz (level III), UPMC Memorial (level II), and UPMC Carlisle (level II).

UPMC Children’s in Central Pa. has a dedicated and specialized pediatric ground and air transport team to transfer neonatal and pediatric patients from other hospitals to UPMC Harrisburg if higher-level care is needed.

As part of UPMC Children's Specialty Services, our pediatric surgical team provides comprehensive surgical care for conditions like abdominal pain, hernia, pectus excavatum and carinatum, tongue tie, and more.

Simple to complex procedures are conducted at UPMC Harrisburg for newborns to young adults. Patients aged 3 and older can receive general outpatient surgery procedures, such as inguinal (groin) hernias, umbilical (belly button) hernias, skin lesions, circumcisions or revisions of circumcisions, and gallbladder removal, at UPMC Lititz.

Families can receive initial and follow-up surgery evaluations in York as well.

Our Care Goes Beyond the Hospital, Too

Whether you visit our UPMC Children's Express Care locations in Hummelstown or Mechanicsburg in person or take advantage of our after-hours and weekend video visits, we are here to provide specialized pediatric care for your child or teen when your regular doctor's office is closed.

UPMC Children’s Community Pediatrics is here for your family from the time you’re expecting until your child becomes a young adult. From earaches and injuries to puberty and anxiety, our pediatricians are here for well visits, sick visits, and all of the ups and downs.
