When it comes to your child’s health, you want care you can trust. At CCMH, our pediatric team is here to support your family from the very beginning through the teenage years. We are proud to offer dedicated pediatric care close to home, led by Dr. Elizabeth “Libby” Ranniger, board-certified pediatrician.
Children are constantly growing and changing, and their healthcare needs are different from those of adults. That is why seeing a pediatrician is so important. Pediatricians are specially trained to understand childhood development, common illnesses, and the unique physical and emotional needs of children. At CCMH, Dr. Ranniger takes the time to get to know each child and family, helping parents feel confident and supported in every stage of their child’s life.
What to Expect from Pediatric Services at CCMH
Pediatric care at CCMH goes beyond routine check-ups. We are here to partner with families and provide guidance along the way. From well-child visits and immunizations to same-day sick appointments, school and sports physicals, and help with developmental screenings such as ADHD and autism assessments, our goal is to make sure your child stays healthy and on track. We also provide support for common concerns like sleep routines, nutrition, behavior, and changes in growth or development.
Keeping Your Child Healthy and Safe
Keeping your child safe is just as important as keeping them healthy. Simple steps at home, like storing medications out of reach, using safety gates, and following safe sleep practices, can make a big difference. When traveling, using the correct car seat or booster and making sure seat belts are properly fastened helps protect your child. Everyday habits like handwashing, staying up to date on vaccinations, and encouraging hydration and sunscreen use during outdoor activities also play an important role in preventing illness and injury.
It’s also important to schedule regular check-ups, even when your child seems healthy. These visits allow providers to track growth, monitor development, and catch potential concerns early. Of course, you should also bring your child in if they are sick, have a fever or persistent symptoms, need a physical for school or sports, or if you notice changes in their behavior, appetite, or energy levels. If you are ever unsure, our team is always here to help guide you.
