Children's Medical Group: pediatric care with eight locations in the Hudson Valley

Children's Medical Group is a pediatric practice operating eight offices in the Hudson Valley, in New York State. Its approach is built around the concept of a "medical home," a model of continuous care that supports the child from the prenatal visit through young adulthood. The organization has more than four decades of activity and presents itself as an option with broad geographic coverage in the region.

Comprehensive pediatric care and clinical services

The group offers a spectrum of services including general pediatric care, behavioral health, clinician-supervised medical treatments, minor medical procedures, and point-of-care lab testing. The practice relies on evidence-based practices and up-to-date technologies, according to its own presentation.

The visit structure covers different needs: newborn visits, prenatal visits, same-day sick visits, well visits, and after-hours and weekend care. The organization also has a patient portal and facilitates requesting medical records.

Support programs and resources for families

The Family Guide program provides a concierge-style service to guide families through each stage of their child's care journey. The practice also publishes a well visit schedule by age and stage, covering everything from babies 0 to 11 months old to young adults 19 to 21 years old.

Among the educational resources are guides for first-time parents, information on hospital affiliations, a vaccination schedule, vaccination resources, and a knowledge center with health topics such as baby and infant care, growth and development, nutrition and feeding, parent wellness, and pregnancy and preparing for baby. The organization also schedules classes and events, and includes a space called The Village.

Coverage, accessibility, and hours

The network of offices is distributed across Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster counties. The practice accepts insurance and offers same-day appointments for sick children. According to its presentation, it has the most extensive hours of any private practice in the Hudson Valley, with extended and weekend care. Patients and their families can visit any of the locations.

The site indicates that care is available 365 days a year. The published hours for the Fishkill, Highland, Hopewell Junction, Hyde Park, Kingston, and Newburgh locations are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM; the Poughkeepsie location is listed with hours of 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Rhinebeck from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Care profile and family reviews
