Hospitalization of Children
Our office is a colorful and welcome place for children of all
ages to visit. We treat patients from birth through college.
"No one likes thinking of their child needing to go to the Hospital. It’s
reassuring to know that if it does happen, we will see you through the illness from start
to finish with the most personal care available at Ivinson Memorial Hospital. Dr.
Kleppinger takes care of all Pediatric problems with patients when they are hospitalized
at Ivinson Memorial Hospital. Premature babies, infants, toddlers and teenagers with
illnesses are all given the specialized care only a Pediatrician can give".

- Critical Care Transfers to Denver Children's Hospital
-
- Not all Pediatric patients can be treated at Ivinson Memorial Hospital. Part of good
medical care is knowing our limitations. When more intensive care is needed than can be
delivered by a community hospital, arrangements are made to transport patients to Denver
Children's Hospital. Specialized air ambulances are brought to Laramie and patients are at
Denver Children's Hospital within a couple of hours for the best Regional Pediatric care
available. From Premature Newborns to Adolescents, when more complex care is needed, we
make is rapidly available at our referral hospital in Denver.
