Why choose Ochsner Health for your pediatric complex care?
The Ochsner Pediatric Complex Care Clinic is the only clinic of its kind in Louisiana. We provide a medical home for children and youth in Louisiana and Mississippi with complex medical, developmental and behavioral conditions. Our team works hard to understand the unique needs of each of our patients and families to provide accessible, high-quality, individualized care.
Our clinic takes a team approach to caring for children and youth with complex needs. We partner with families to ensure your child gets the best care possible. Additionally, we work to ensure your whole family has access to the education and support you need to manage day-to-day medical needs. We aim to improve your child’s quality of life while keeping them out of the emergency room (ER) or hospital unless necessary.
Our complex care program provides a centralized hub for trusted medical answers and care coordination. To relieve some of the burdens of managing complex medical needs, the Ochsner Pediatric Complex Care Clinic provides longer-than-average appointment times. This allows us to address multiple issues in a single day. Our team also offers same-day care for patients who can avoid an ER visit by being seen in the complex care clinic. Additionally, we assist with coordinating care with other Ochsner providers to make scheduling appointments or procedures as easy and convenient as possible.
If one of our pediatric patients is hospitalized, we work with other Ochsner departments to address chronic health conditions during their inpatient stay.
