Children's Institute at Carle Foundation Hospital

The Children's Institute at Carle Foundation Hospital provides the highest level of advanced care and safety for children - and their mothers - without having to leave the area. From routine checkups to acute illness, our network of pediatric specialists combine compassion, expertise and teamwork to evaluate, diagnose and treat children and adolescent patients with individualized care for all their healthcare needs.

Here's how we do it:
 
  • As one of just three designated pediatric critical care centers in downstate Illinois and the region's only dedicated pediatric intensive care unit, we're ready in any medical emergency to provide critical and specialty care for children.
  • We offer the region's only Level III perinatal services, with neonatologists, obstetricians, nurses and other experts staffing our 48-bed neonatal ICU 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 
  • Our transport teams are also on call 24/7, ready to transport high-risk expectant and new mothers, and premature and critically ill newborns to our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit via air or ground ambulance. 
  • That means we also offer a full range of women's health services as well - from obstetrics and gynecology to pregnancy, birthing and post-partum care. 
  • Our dedicated 22-bed inpatient pediatric unit features rooms designated for pediatric procedures and patient comfort. 
  • Our Emergency Department is equipped with a sensory room and pediatric rooms, and we also offer activity rooms for young and teenage patients spending time in the hospital. 
  • Our Child Diagnostic Clinic offers a team-based approach for patients ages 2-18 with developmental, behavioral and learning disorders. 
  • Our Expanding Children's Hearing Opportunities (ECHO) program offers comprehensive services for children who are deaf or hard of hearing - the only program in Illinois to offer these services in a single, dedicated location. 

And why do we do it? Because we care, of course! We treat our patients of all ages as if they were our own family, because for us, that's who they are. We appreciate you trusting your child's care to us, as well as your own, and we take that trust seriously. We just wanted you to know: You can count on Carle Health for the best care possible - for you and your family - right here, close to home.
