CHILDREN’S OUTPATIENT CENTER


As part of our complete range of pediatric services, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center’s Children’s Outpatient Center offers specialty clinics, in a warm and friendly setting, for infants and children who require further care or treatment after hospitalization. The Center’s services are also available to all children in the region with a referral from their physician.

Pulmonary Clinic
For infants and children with breathing problems, our Pulmonary Clinic provides consultation, evaluation and treatment for various disorders and difficulties, including:

  • Asthma
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Respiratory failure

In the Pulmonary Clinic children are cared for by a team headed by a pediatric physician specialist (pulmonologist) along with highly skilled pediatric nurses, therapists, dietitians and social workers.

Developmental High-Risk Clinic
Although most infants who graduate from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit grow and develop normally, some are at risk. Early intervention may help these infants reach their full potential. Our High Risk Infant Developmental (HRID) Clinic provides services for children up to two years of age as well as information and support to their families. Infant development is assessed in the following areas:

  • Vision and hearing
  • Motor skills (sitting, walking, use of hands)
  • Personal and social skills (smiling, eye contact, talking)
  • Adaptive skills (playing with toys)
  • Growth progress (muscle tone, reflexes)

Headed by a pediatric physician specialist, called a neonatologist, the HRID clinic team includes specially trained pediatric nurses, physical and occupational therapists, dietitians and medical social workers.
