Conditions we treat
Our neurodevelopmental pediatrics provides expert care for a variety of conditions, including:
Our clinics
We hold monthly multidisciplinary development assessment clinics to provide follow-up care for infants who were under 30 weeks gestation, weighed less than 1500 grams at birth, were diagnosed with HIE (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy/body cooling protocol) and who were admitted to the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Our infant progress clinic provides screening services for children who were previously cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and children who meet specific criteria that place them at risk for developmental delay.
Our location
We are located in downtown Grand Rapids at 35 Michigan Street NE, Suite 3003. Parents of children at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital and their visitors may either park in Ramp 3 or use valet parking at the main entrance circle drive off of Michigan Street. Parking is free at all Spectrum Health ramps but you must have the parking ticket validated at the clinic or one of the hospital information desks.
