Pediatric Services

Tipton Hospital is dedicated to taking care of children of all ages in our community. Whether your child needs to visit our pediatrician or one of our family practice physicians, the emergency department, have an outpatient procedure such as laboratory services or surgical services, or any number of other services at Tipton Hospital, you can be assured that we can provide the necessary care. Our close relationship with Clarian North’s Riley Hospital for Children is another strong benefit. Through this relationship, our nurses are able to further their training and certifications through an exciting new program, Clarian Telemedicine Services. Clinical professionals may complete their continuing medical education requirements using video technology to virtually attend clinical educational events from Clarian and Indiana University School of Medicine.

Minor Consent Forms
If you are going to be away from your children, you want to make all the necessary provisions for their care. To help with these arrangements, Tipton Hospital provides a Minor Consent Form and Medical Information Questionnaire. This form could be very important should your child become ill or injured while you are away. For a copy of this form, please click here.
