Children have different health care needs than adults—physically, developmentally and emotionally. Mercer Health offers a variety of services and specialties specifically for pediatric patients—from newborn care at the time of delivery, to well-child exams, to expert surgical services, to unique pediatric programs for nutrition-related and cognitive behavioral skills building.
Our pediatric providers want to see your child grow up healthy! Pediatric providers play an important role as your child grows and develops – guiding prevention and healthy habits, providing early and appropriate care for acute illnesses and treating more complex childhood conditions.
Many of the offices in the Mercer Health Medical Group (MHMG) network offer pediatric primary care. Mercer Health Medical Group Pediatrics, a completely dedicated pediatric office is located at Mercer Health’s Galleria Campus.

Being a parent, new or seasoned, can be overwhelming. We have compiled resources to help answer some of parents most frequently asked questions.
A fever is a rise in body temperature above what a normal temperature is for your baby. It is the body’s normal defense response against infection. How high a fever is does not always tell how sick your child may be. Your child can be just as sick with a fever of 100.3 degrees as 102 degrees.
