Learn about Health Care Professionals
A pediatrician is a physician who provides medical care to children from birth to early adulthood (usually until about the age of 21). Pediatricians diagnose and treat medical conditions and also provide preventative care (e.g., immunizations, wellness exams). They focus on improving overall health, reducing childhood mortality, controlling the spread of infectious diseases, and promoting healthy lifestyles.
