Fall 2024 9 destination pediatric care Your partner in health Riverside Healthcare’s commitment to pediatric care extends beyond emergency and inpatient support. The team of pediatric specialists includes both pediatricians and family medicine providers, ensuring that all your family’s health care needs are met under one roof. Riverside offers same-day appointments for pediatrics, making it easy for parents to schedule visits without delay. The convenience is further enhanced through the myRiverside MyChart system, which allows parents to access their children’s electronic medical records anytime, anywhere. This user-friendly platform ensures that managing your child’s health care is seamless and stress-free. Willbarger also shares that Riverside had identified a gap in care access surrounding health insurance. “We now accept some health plans that we did not accept in the past, such as the Aetna Better Health Medicaid plan and Blue Choice options like Blue Choice Select and Blue Choice Exchange Preferred. Again, our goal is really to provide care access to our community so patients don’t have to leave the community.” Riverside Healthcare is committed to providing exceptional care for families. From the specialized services of Riverside Women’s Health Specialists to the comprehensive maternity and pediatric services, Riverside ensures that every patient receives the highest standard of care with the utmost convenience and compassion. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby or seeking expert pediatric care, Riverside Healthcare is your trusted partner in health.
