Children's Health / Safety
Keeping Our Children Safe
Keeping children safe is a top priority for the Mercy Health Partners team, and we have many programs in place to ensure that Muskegon area kids are as safe as possible — whether they are in our direct care or not.
Inpatient Pediatric Care Unit
Our inpatient pediatric care unit is managed by Lisa Kluting, Clinical Leader and RN. She is happy to answer any questions you have about our unit, or about inpatient pediatric care with us. Email her or call 231-672-6159 for more information.
Outpatient Surgery for Kids
The tonsillectomy, the ear tube placement — both very common outpatient procedures many kids undergo. We do all we can to ensure your child is comfortable during the procedure, and that you have all the critical aftercare information to make sure your child recovers properly.
For more information on outpatient surgery for kids, please contact Kim McElhaney, RN, Clinical Leader for Muskegon General Surgery at 231-672-6159 or via email.
Safe Kids
By promoting auto, bicycle, water and other forms of safety, our Safe Kids Muskegon program is dedicated to preventing accidental childhood injury. For more information on Safe Kids, contact Holly Alway, Safe Kids Coordinator at 231-672-4910 or email her.
Healthy Kids Rewards Program
Kids get rewarded for all sorts of things these days, so why not reward them for practicing good health habits? We have a pediatric incentive program at Lakeshore Family Care that just may work well for you at home.
Create a monthly calendar, and each time your child eats a healthy food or engages in physical activity, reward them with a star. Based on the number of stars they have at the end of the month, you can reward them with a prize for good behavior.
