Pediatric Emergency Care

When a child becomes ill or gets injured, it’s important to get treatment as quickly as possible. Caring for kids is our specialty – it’s all we do. Mary Bridge treats more than 30,000 patient visits annually through our pediatric emergency department. Our board certified pediatric emergency physicians staff the emergency department 24 hours a day.

Pediatric emergency physicians work as a team with pediatricians, subspecialists, registered nurses and paramedics who are specially trained to provide care for ill and injured infants and children.
