Our Services
The 22-private bed Lund Family Pediatric and Adolescent Unit, named after the Lund family who generously donated $2.5 million for the Mercy Gilbert Medical Center Tower B expansion, opened in February 2008, providing health care services to children ages 17 and younger in the East Valley.
We recognize that parents know their child's emotional needs, habits and patterns. For this reason, we encourage parents to assist our team every step of the way in providing efficient, high quality, radical loving care for each child. We specialize in:
- Cardiology services
- Earns, noses, throats
- General pediatric services
- Lactation consultations
- Orthopedics
- Pediatric surgery
