Pediatrics
Over the past two decades, Day Kimball Hospital’s Pediatric Centers have earned a reputation in the community for providing outstanding personalized health care for children, from newborns to adolescents.
The three centers, conveniently located at the hospital in Putnam, in the Plainfield Health Center, and in the Thompson Health Center are expertly staffed by a team of board certified pediatricians, pediatric nurse practitioners and nurses. These providers, many of whom
have special interests in areas such as asthma and adolescent health, emphasize the importance of getting to know “their families,” and strive to include parents and guardians in the treatment of
their children.
The Pediatric Centers use a “primary care practice” model. Parents
or guardians and their children can select a pediatrician or nurse practitioner
as their care provider. Healthcare services provided include sick visit
care, immunizations, check ups, as well as school and camp physicals.
Highly specialized services offered include
the evaluation and treatment
of attention deficit disorders and the evaluation of behavioral health
problems through the services of a board certified child psychiatrist.
To make it easier for working parents, the Putnam Pediatric Center offers evening appointments Monday through Thursday.
Services Provided

What to expect during your visit/procedure
There is usually a minimum wait to see the doctor or nurse practitioner. If a wait is required, it is because we are busy with
other patients in need. We ask for your understanding and patience.
Important reminders/things to remember
• Appointments are required
• Appointment cancellations should be made no later than 24 hour prior to scheduled visit
• Please bring all medications that your child is currently taking at
the time of your visit
• Insurance cards and copays must be presented for each visit
The Day Kimball Hospital Immunization Action Plan
The Day Kimball Hospital Immunization Action Plan (IAP) works with the
State of Connecticut Immunization Program. It provides referral services
for physicians to help them find children who may be behind on immunizations
(shots). It also works with parents to help them find pediatricians to get
all of the shots their children need.
The IAP program also works with CIRTS, the Connecticut Immunization Registry
and Tracking System, which is a computerized shots registry. It keeps shot
records for preschool-aged children, even if they move from Connecticut,
their pediatrician retires, or they change doctors and forget their shot
history. These records are necessary for when a child enters daycare, school,
camp or even college.
If your child was not born in CT, or was born before 1998, and you want
to enroll them into CIRTS, please call Danielle Baillargeon, Immunization
Coordinator, at (860) 928-6541 ext. 2013 or download
