When your child needs care fast, we’re built for it.


Sitting in a waiting room with a sick or hurting child is its own kind of hard. That's why we designed a pediatric emergency center around getting your child seen quickly. In the moments you arrive, you’re taken to a dedicated pediatric area with private rooms built specifically for children and families. You’ll be with your child every step of the way.

Your child will be seen immediately by our friendly trauma staff experienced in the emergency treatment of infants, children and adolescents – who understand kids deserve specialized care. Your child's safety and physical and emotional wellbeing is your number one priority, and we’re committed to treating your child like we would our own.
