Our Pediatric Unit
Advances in pediatric medical treatments mean that children and their parents no longer need to travel far
to access the latest therapies. Treatment is available right here at Kaweah Health. Our partnership with
Valley Children’s Medical Group, ensures that children can receive treatment close to their families and
siblings, reducing the added stress of travel for parents and relatives. When children see their family
every day, they tend to feel more secure and less anxious, which significantly aids their health journey.

Surgical Recovery Unit
In addition, advances in medical care are resulting in longer and healthier lives. Conditions that perplexed
doctors 30 years ago are now routine and treatable, particularly among the Baby Boomer generation.
Orthopedic procedures have advanced significantly, reducing recovery times and increasing the number
of planned surgeries. Procedures that once required multi-day stays can now be performed with a simple
overnight stay or even on an outpatient basis.

We Need Your Help!

Kaweah Health is committed to meeting the needs of our growing community by renovating our Pediatric
Unit and expanding our 3E Surgical Recovery Unit for short-term stays within the medical center. The
Pediatric Department project will renovate eight rooms located on the third floor of the East Medical
Center Wing. The renovated rooms are designed to accommodate advanced technology and include
family seating/sleepers to enhance comfort for both children and their families.

To accommodate larger volumes of short stay surgeries, we will expand and remodel our SRU unit. This
expansion will allow us to treat less complex surgeries more efficiently, without the restriction of bed space,
ensuring we can provide timely care to more patients. When you’re in pain, you want treatment fast, and this addition will help achieve that.
