At Iowa Lutheran Hospital, we understand that childhood and adolescence are critical-and often challenging-periods of development. As young people grow and form their identities, they may face emotional, behavioral, or psychological struggles that can deeply impact their daily lives and family dynamics.

Our Pediatric Behavioral Health Services are designed to provide hope, healing, and structure for children and adolescents ages 5 to 17 who are struggling with issues like :

Suicidal thoughts

Depression and low self-esteem

Behavioral challenges, defiance, and poor impulse control

Aggression and family conflict

Difficulties in school

Sexual identity issues

We offer a continuum of care tailored to meet children where they are-whether they're facing challenges at home, in school, or within their communities.

As part of our dedicated pediatric behavioral health team, you'll be empowered to make a real difference. You'll collaborate with professionals who are passionate about helping children heal, thrive, and reclaim their potential.

This is more than a job-it's a calling. If you're committed to compassionate, expert care and want to be part of a team that's redefining behavioral health support for children and adolescents, Iowa Lutheran Hospital is the place to be.
