Kids are bundles of energy that come in packages of all sizes. Keeping your child healthy, from birth through adolescence is just one of our goals at Mercy Medical Center Redding.

Pediatricians understand that children aren’t simply small adults. There are many factors that can affect their growth and development. 

Our pediatricians specialize in the physical, emotional and social health of your child throughout every stage of his or her life. Children change so rapidly. Rest assured that we're there every step of the way to help make sure that your child reaches their full potential.

Kid Friendly

  • Windows near the door so staff can see their patients and check monitors at a glance. More importantly, little patients can always see caring adults and know that they are never far away.
  • Carousel animals decorate the walls and hallways to help children relax and feel like it is a special place just for them.
  • Counter tops are low so children can easily approach the staff.
