Parenting is a journey filled with questions, milestones, and moments that matter. Whether you’re caring for a newborn or navigating the teen years, we’re here to help with expert guidance, tips, and resources designed for every stage of your child’s development.

Need walk-in care? Our Pediatric Walk-In Clinic hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Using Save My Place saves you time by skipping the line at our walk-in clinics. Select a clinic and reserve a time during walk-in hours.

Need help after hours? CMH Pediatric Clinic has partnered with Children’s Mercy Hospital to offer an after-hours nurse hotline. If your child has a life-threatening illness or injury, CALL 911. If your child requires assistance after our office is closed, you can speak with a nurse by calling our office at 417-777-2121, option 6.
