Discover Care Designed for Kids

Pushing boundaries and taking risks are important parts of childhood play and discovery. But sometimes, even healthy exercise and rough-and-tumble play can lead to unexpected cuts, scrapes and injuries that require emergency care.

When your child needs immediate medical attention, whether for an injury or a serious childhood illness, we can help. Here, we understand how overwhelming (and downright scary) a trip to the hospital can be for kids. That’s why we do more than help heal what hurts. Our team knows how to help kids feel comfortable, safe and in control.

And since we know going to the ER can be nerve-wracking for parents too, our team of emergency physicians, pediatricians, nurses and staff are here to serve your family with all the information, resources and support you need.
