Emergency care
Emergency care is the treatment of unexpected, severe medical injuries or infections. It is typically delivered in an emergency room or an ambulance. Our emergency medicine physicians stabilize your condition as quickly as possible to prepare you for the next step of care or discharge.
ER care designed for children
If you believe your child is having a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or visit the closest ER.
The Wesley Pediatric ER includes a staff of emergency medicine physicians, as well as nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and child life specialists who are committed to creating an encouraging and nurturing environment for children and their loved ones.
Our staff provides expert, compassionate inpatient care, and we are prepared for all types of children's emergencies, ranging from sudden illness to a life-threatening injury. When it comes to ER care, children are not just small adults, they also need the expert, respectful care found at our pediatric ER.
How to get to our pediatric ER
Located inside of Wesley Medical Center, our pediatric ER can be accessed through the south end of the hospital. Always check in through the adult ER to ensure that your child is treated as quickly as possible. We do not offer emergency check-in at the Wesley Children’s Hospital entrance.
