Support for every step of your child’s care

Raising a child with health concerns comes with questions, decisions and emotional moments. At Endeavor Health, we offer more than medical care — we support the entire family with education, programs, and compassionate resources for a variety of situations. Whether you’re looking for help with symptom management, after-hours care or emotional healing after loss, our team is here to walk with you.

Safe sleep for your baby

Creating a safe sleep environment is one of the most important things you can do to protect your baby’s health in the first year of life. At Endeavor Health, we follow the latest guidelines to help reduce the risk of sudden unexplained infant death (SUID) and support healthy development.

We recommend the ABCs of safe sleep:

  • Alone. Share your room with your baby, but not your bed. Babies need to sleep in their own sleeping place.
  • Back. Babies are safest sleeping on their back. They are not more likely to choke while laying on their backs.
  • Crib. Your baby’s sleeping place should be on a firm mattress. The sleeping place should be clear of blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and crib bumpers.

Our team provides safe sleep education in the hospital and at newborn visits — and we’re always here to answer your questions or concerns.

Login in to your patient portal

MyChart gives you 24/7 access to your child’s health record, test results, messaging with providers, appointment scheduling and a medical library — all in one secure place.

We offer in-person and virtual support groups for parents, new mothers, and families experiencing grief or pregnancy after loss. SHARE and Sharing HOPE meet monthly and host remembrance events year-round.

Our ISCU and Newborn Follow-Up Clinic offer developmental guidance and emotional support for families as they transition home.

Endeavor Health pediatricians see patients until age 21. As your child nears adulthood, their care team can help you transition to a family medicine or internal medicine provider. We'll make sure the process is smooth and that your child continues to receive personalized care.
