Pediatrics (formerly The Children's Clinic)

Wilmington Health Pediatrics was formerly known as The Children’s Clinic, an important part of the healthcare landscape in Wilmington for more than 50 years. Founded by Drs. Robert Melton and Ralph Moore as a private practice in 1959, The Children’s Clinic began with just one nurse. Throughout the next 50 years, The Children’s Clinic expanded in number of patients, as well as providers and locations.

In 1997, The Children’s Clinic joined Wilmington Health as the Pediatric Division (now Wilmington Health Pediatrics). Although the name has changed, the level of care and commitment to the children of Wilmington has not.

Physicians and nurse practitioners in Wilmington Health Pediatrics care for patients from birth through 18 years of age. Members of our experienced pediatric nursing staff are available during regular office hours to answer patient questions, assist with refills, and prioritize healthcare needs. Newborns will be seen in the office soon after birth and followed periodically for immunizations and well child checkups through adolescence.

Children will also be seen at periodic visits such as camp physicals, sports physicals, sick visits, and chronic care for special needs. Wilmington Health pediatricians are fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics and are committed to promoting healthy childhood development through preventative medicine and wellness care.

Having a medical home is important if you visit your doctor once a year or regularly. Your medical home is your home base that collects your medical information and shares it with collaborating providers. We coordinate your care to make sure you are being treated appropriately. We care about you and will continue to strive to provide the best care possible. To learn more about medical homes and PCMH, click here.
