Clinical Services

Inpatient Services
Our inpatient clinical services are provided at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL. Our hospital serves both as a primary health center for the surrounding urban neighborhood as well as the major pediatric tertiary referral center for northern Illinois and northwest Indiana, a population of more than 7 million. As a result, clinical service is moderately heavy, with a tremendous variety of common infectious diseases, many rare and unusual infections including tropical diseases, and a wide variety of acute and chronic infections. 

Outpatient Services
Our outpatient specialty services are offered in our Children’s Memorial Outpatient Center in Lincoln Park located at 2515 N. Clark Street in Chicago. To schedule an appointment in any of our programs, please call 1.800.KIDS.DOC (1.800.543.7362) or request an appointment through our secured online request form.

Our division runs the largest and most comprehensive pediatric and adolescent program in the Midwest. Established in 1987, our Pediatric and Adolescent HIV/AIDS Program cares for more children and adolescents than any other pediatric HIV service provider in the region.

In our Center for Kawasaki Disease, we have one of the largest and most active Kawasaki disease clinical and research programs in the U.S. and have cared for more than 1,600 children with Kawasaki disease. Our clinician scientists are continuing their research efforts in finding the cause of this illness, improving treatment, and identifying factors that determine who is susceptible.

Our division offers travel immunizations for children traveling overseas in our International Travel Immunizations Program, one of the few in the Chicago area offering comprehensive, specialized pediatric travel health services. The program provides appropriate immunizations for many communicable diseases, following the guidelines developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In our International Adoptee Program, we provide comprehensive medical evaluations, review of immunization records, screening tests according to the child's country of birth, and follow-up care for any infectious diseases the child may have contracted.
