Infants to adolescents requiring hospitalization receive specialized care in a dedicated pediatrics unit at Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center. Care is family-focused because we believe that is fundamental in the child’s treatment and recovery.

The unit is staffed with pediatricians and specially trained pediatric nurses experienced in pediatric care. Each patient room features a TV and DVD/VHS player. A 'kid center cart' including a game system and various games is available to help keep children entertained while on the pediatrics unit. Special “kid-friendly” menus are also available to help children feel more at home.

We go the extra mile to make sure every child on our pediatric unit is always safe.  Each child receives an arm bracelet with a sensor that will automatically alarm if a child is taken too close to the exit doors without hospital or parent permission.   

Rooms are also equipped with a convertible chair that folds into a bed for parents staying overnight with their children.  It is our focus to make every child as comfortable as possible while they are in the hospital.
