Pediatric Services

Our children deserve the best care we can give. At Centra, we know nothing is more important to you than your child. Our experienced teams of pediatric physicians and nurses work with families to deal with juvenile diabetes, asthma, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis and other diagnoses.

Centra's Emergency Department (ED), located at Lynchburg General Hospital, contains an eight-bed Pediatric Pod that is designed specifically for treating pediatric emergencies. To make the unit child friendly, the rooms include brightly-painted walls and large murals of Virginia wildlife in addition to containing the equipment and supplies needed to treat pediatric patients.

Centra's Pediatric Specialty Center, in affiliation with the University of Virginia Medical Center, provides pediatric services related to genetics, pulmonary, allergy & asthma, endocrinology and neurodevelopment.

Centra's Developmental Pediatrics Service provides evaluation and follow-up of developmentally at-risk or delayed infants and children. Our outpatient services, housed in the Autism and Developmental Pediatrics Center, help children with learning and behavioral problems and support parents and children as they develop.
