About this app

This service is currently available on a limited basis for participants in Children’s Mercy Pediatric Care Network who’ve been provided an access code.

Providers can discuss, provide guidance, and often treat your child’s minor ailments and illnesses from the comfort of your own home — or anywhere — offering you a convenient solution from experts who specialize in treating children. In fact, Children’s has been repeatedly recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of “America’s Best Children’s Hospitals.”
