Expectant Mothers

Choose Your Pediatrician Before Your Baby Arrives

Your baby deserves compassionate, trusted care from the very beginning. At Health Care for Children, we specialize in helping expecting mothers across Kansas City’s Northland — including Liberty, Gladstone, and surrounding communities — choose the right pediatrician before birth. That way, you can focus on what matters most: welcoming your new little one.

Why Choose Health Care for Children?

Compassion for Kids

Our mantra guides everything we do.

Affiliated with Children’s Mercy

Trusted by families, backed by one of the region’s most respected children’s hospitals.

Convenient Northland locations

When Should I Choose a Pediatrician?

Most parents don’t realize that it’s best to select your pediatrician before your baby is born. Having a doctor ready at delivery means:

Immediate newborn care and hospital coordination.
Peace of mind that your baby’s first check-ups are already scheduled.
A trusted medical home from day one.

How It Works

Request an Appointment — Use our simple online form (select Expecting Mother).
Schedule a Prenatal Meet-and-Greet — Meet your pediatrician, tour our clinic, and ask questions.
Relax, You’re Ready — We’ll be there for you and your baby from birth through every milestone.
