The word doctor means teacher, a description which strongly represents the commitment of our practice to you. Whether we're talking about the possible complications of strep throat or strategies for dealing with the 'terrible twos' we want to be of service to you and your family.

  We hope this website will help improve your understanding of what Hernando Children's has to offer you and your family, and will also serve as a guide to questions you might have about your child's health.

Patient-centered: A partnership among practitioners, patients, and their families ensures that decisions respect patients’ wants, needs, and preferences, and that patients have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care.

Comprehensive: A team of care providers is wholly accountable for a patient’s physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, and chronic care.

Coordinated: Care is organized across all elements of the broader health care system, including specialty care, hospitals, home health care, community services and supports.

Accessible: Patients are able to access services with shorter waiting times, "after hours" care, 24/7 electronic or telephone access, and strong communication through health IT innovations.

Committed to quality and safety: Clinicians and staff enhance quality improvement to ensure that patients and families make informed decisions about their health.
