Pediatric Medical Home

The St. Elizabeth Physicians Pediatric Medical Home offers health care centered on your child, the patient. It is a partnership between your child, you, and the doctor. Dr. Cammie Hilliard leads a team of health care professionals in a medical practice committed to improving your child’s overall health and helping you reach your child’s health goals. Instead of just being treated for a problem here and there without making a connection between symptoms, the pediatric medical home focuses on connecting the dots and coordinating care.

Depending on your child's healthcare needs, your child's health team may consist of specialty physicians, dietitians, mental health professionals, etc., in addition to the Pediatrician. For example, do you want to better control your child’s weight, behavioral issues, diabetes, or asthma? Dr. Hilliard and her staff will coordinate the best possible team for your child. If your child needs a specialist for a specific condition, the pediatric medical home will help you find the right specialist for your child’s needs. Because all tests and treatments done by other doctors will be sent to our office, we will be a centralized home for your child's medical care.
