Pediatric medical care is coming to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie.

The services are being provided by Maria Fareri Children's Hospital, which is part of Westchester Medical Center.

The services include a pediatric emergency room, inpatient unit and caregiver services for family members.

The pediatric unit will alleviate travel for more than 50% of Maria Fareri's patients who come from more than 50 miles away.

The pediatric services are expected to be fully operational by late summer.
