Emergency Visits

What to Do in an Emergency: If your child is facing a serious or life-threatening emergency, please call 911 immediately.

Wait Times in the Emergency Department

Families who come to us with non-urgent issues may experience longer waits to be seen. When a child in our hospital or emergency department is facing a life-threatening emergency, there is no wait time.

Families should consider whether their child could be cared for at their primary care pediatrician's office or at a local urgent care.
