Floyd Valley Healthcare believes that your children deserve the highest level of care available. We have a team of skilled, experienced family medicine providers who offer a wide range of infant and pediatric care services. Here’s a look at what pediatric care is and why you should visit us for any pediatric services your child may need in Le Mars, IA.
Pediatric care is a specialized healthcare service that focuses on providing comprehensive preventive, diagnostic, curative and therapeutic services to children from infancy to young adulthood. Most children stop visiting a pediatrician at age 18, though some providers see patients up to age 21. The goal of pediatric healthcare providers is to support the physical, mental, emotional and social health of children. Our team not only diagnoses and treats conditions but also provides you and your family with the tools and education needed to take charge of your own health and reduce the risk of certain illnesses and diseases.
From checkups, immunizations, developmental assessments and routine preventative care, our providers have specialized training and experience in providing healthcare for infants, children and teens. Whether your child needs routine care or specialized treatment for an injury or illness, our pediatrician can work with you and your primary healthcare providers to treat a range of conditions, including developmental, learning and behavioral issues. Our services include:
In addition to obstetrics care, we provide comprehensive postpartum and infant care services. We can provide your child with their first check-up, ensure they receive all the immunizations they need and provide ongoing monitoring and support for illness and disease. Our goal is to provide your child with the care they need to support optimal physical, mental, emotional and social growth and health.
We offer ongoing routine and specialized care for children and teens, including annual physical exams, sports and back-to-school physicals, hearing and vision checks, laboratory and diagnostic services, illness treatment, disease prevention, monitoring of development and growth, nutrition services and weight management and more. This allows us to monitor and oversee your child’s health, growth and development, and catch early warning signs of problems.
We also offer urgent healthcare services for infants, teens and young adults. We provide timely treatment for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries in children and young adults. This includes radiology services, splinting and casting, stitches, wound care, cold and flu treatment, ear infection treatment and more.
Our wellness checks are designed to prevent disease and illness and help you and your child manage their overall health. This includes screenings and assessments that monitor and evaluate your child’s growth and development through each stage of life. We also address nutritional counseling, weight management, goal setting, healthy lifestyle choices and more.
Our team is led by Jolene Meis, MD, and include additional healthcare professionsals in the physical, mental and social health and development of kids between infancy and young adulthood.

Many new parents have questions about pediatric care. Here are some of the most common inquires we receive:
We recommend that your infant have their first appointment or check-up within a few days of leaving the Healthcare. This ensures your child is eating properly, gaining weight and reaching all postpartum developmental milestones. It also gives you a chance to ask questions, get guidance and address any concerns.
In your child’s first two years of life, we recommend visits every four to six months to evaluate milestones, assess nutrition and weight and ensure your child is meeting all developmental goals. After age 2, you can bring your child in for annual check-ups unless they have specialized healthcare or developmental needs.
A pediatrician specializes in the examination, diagnosis and treatment of children from infancy to adolescence. They offer routine and specialized care, including preventive care, check-ups and wellness exams, vaccinations and immunizations, education and more.
