Pediatric Outpatient Treatment Area

The Pediatric Outpatient Treatment Area exists to provide specialized child-centered care for children from birth through adolescence. Children are seen in this area for diagnostic testing, treatment and observation generally lasting a few hours, and then are discharged home the same day.
Outpatient procedures frequently performed include:
- Blood and blood product transfusions
- Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
- Bronchoscopy
- Gastroscopy (upper gastrointestinal endoscopy)
- Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy (anoscopy, proctoscopy)
