Pediatrics

A child’s 18-year journey to adulthood can be divided into three stages, each of which can benefit from specialized medical attention: Infancy, Toddler/Childhood and Adolescence. Through these stages, children develop at a fast pace, both inside and out, which is why having a healthcare professional monitor this growth is important.

At the Santee Health and Wellness Center, we provide comprehensive children’s care to kids of all ages through our team of Family Medicine providers, Pediatrician, and nurses.

To help your child grow into a healthy, young adult, call upon the expertise of the Santee Health & Wellness Center.

In collaboration with the Yankton Medical Clinic’s Dr. Sara Pepper, the Santee Health Center is able to offer Pediatric outreach services to the Santee community.
