Baptist Children’s Hospital has opened a new Children’s Emergency Center with a 24-bed capacity.
The new Center includes 18 private exam rooms with flat-screen TVs and DVDs for distraction and entertainment. In addition, there are two state-of-the-art trauma rooms for our most critical patients. Open 24 hours daily, the Center is staffed by doctors, registered nurses and technicians who specialize in pediatric care.
The Children's Emergency Center is separate from the adult E.R., and is equipped to handle a wide range of medical problems from colds to critical illnesses. Child Life Specialists are available to provide play activities, movies and games to reduce children's anxiety during their visit. For more information, send an e-mail to
