With pediatric offices in Bend, COPA is an easy drive for many Sisters families looking for comprehensive care for babies, children, and teens.

Pediatric Care for Sisters Families, From Newborns to Teens
Children grow and change quickly, and their healthcare needs change right along with them. Having a pediatrician who knows your child and family provides continuity through all of those stages.
We begin caring for newborns within the first few days after they come home from the hospital. These early visits provide an opportunity to check feeding, weight gain, jaundice, and overall health while giving new parents plenty of time to ask questions.
As children grow, regular well-child visits help us monitor growth, development, and important milestones. Preventive care includes recommended immunizations, vision and hearing screenings, routine physical exams, and age-appropriate guidance to help children stay healthy.
Our pediatricians are also here for the many questions that come up between checkups. From feeding and sleep to school readiness, sports participation, puberty, mental health, and adolescent wellness, families have a trusted resource to turn to throughout childhood.
Whole-Person Pediatric Care for Sisters Families
At COPA, we believe pediatric care should support the whole child. Physical health is important, but so are development, behavior, emotional well-being, relationships, and the many other factors that influence how children grow and thrive.
In addition to primary pediatric care, COPA families have access to behavioral health services, lactation support, nutrition guidance, and care coordination for children who need referrals or additional services. Children who need specialized allergy care can also be referred by their primary care provider to our pediatric allergy and immunology specialist.
Keeping these resources connected within one pediatric practice helps our team understand the bigger picture of your childās health. It also allows families to build long-term relationships with providers who know their child and can offer guidance as their needs change over the years.
Same-Day Pediatric Care and Support
Childhood comes with plenty of unexpected illnesses and injuries. COPA offers same-day appointments whenever possible for concerns such as fevers, ear infections, coughs, sore throats, rashes, stomach illnesses, and minor injuries.
Families also have access to our nurse triage team between appointments. If youāre unsure whether your child should be seen in the office, can be cared for at home, or needs more urgent evaluation, our nurses can help you determine the appropriate next step.
For families making the drive from Sisters to Bend, that guidance can be particularly useful. Sometimes a child needs an appointment, while other times parents simply need reassurance, practical advice, and a clear idea of what to watch for at home.
