Pediatrics (PCMH)
Welcome to the Pediatric Clinic, where we are honored and proud to care for the children of our military families.
As one of Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center's Primary Care Medical Homes, our focus is to create an optimal healing environment while working as a team with our military families. By focusing on the patient first through a partnership approach with the family, we aim to provide primary health care that is accessible, family centered, coordinated, comprehensive, continuous, compassionate and culturally effective.
Our Pediatric Clinic consists of two medical home teams — Pink Panthers Team and Blue Dolphins Team — and has Pediatricians and Nurse Practitioners who care for about 8,000 infants, children, and adolescents enrolled to TRICARE Prime.
