Specialty pediatric care
At every age, your child has unique physical, emotional and developmental needs. When part of your child’s healthcare experience includes pediatric specialty care, we can help. Our pediatric clinics have specialists for a variety of needs, including pediatric allergies. You’ll also find specialists at the Center on Human Development and Disability. Your pediatrician can also partner closely with Seattle Children’s Hospital for an array of additional services.
Guidance on when to seek care
Injury or illness in children can be scary, but knowing how and when to react is key for 1) their health and 2) your peace of mind. UW Medicine partners with Seattle Children’s Hospital to ensure kids receive the right care when and where they need it. Read on to find out what you can do at home and when you need to call or see the doctor.

Patient education, including safety and child abuse prevention
Patient education
Inform yourself so that you can make the best choices for your child’s health and care.
Safety and injury prevention
You want to protect your child from harm at home and when they are away. Learn how to keep them safe with the right information.
Child abuse prevention
Child abuse can happen in any family, no matter its income, race, ethnic heritage or religious faith. Child abuse can be physical, sexual or emotional. Neglecting to act when a child is potentially in harm’s way can also be abuse.
