Pediatric specialists in Lee's Summit, Missouri
When it comes to your child's healthcare, you deserve fast, effective and high-quality care close to home.
At Lee's Summit Medical Center (LSMC), we bring advanced pediatric care, including pediatric specialties such as gastroenterology, to the Greater Kansas City area.
Pediatric emergency care
Accidents happen, especially with active children. That's why we offer high-quality emergency care 24/7 in our kid-friendly emergency room (ER). Our ER exceeds national benchmarks for readiness to treat children and offers short wait times.
We know a trip to the ER can be frightening and intimidating for children and parents. That's why our waiting room offers cartoons, stuffed animals and games to occupy children and lessen their anxieties.
If a child needs specialized emergency care, we offer streamlined access to Overland Park Regional Medical Center's pediatric ER for advanced pediatric emergency services.
