Pediatric emergency care
Emergency care isn’t one size fits all — especially for kids. They need child-sized equipment, the right medication doses, and providers who know how to put them at ease. We offer expert pediatric emergency care and are recognized as both an Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP) and one of only 11 Pediatric Critical Care Centers (PCCC) in Illinois.
