EMERGENCY MEDICINE

St. John’s Mercy Children's Hospital provides immediate, highly specialized pediatric emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What to Expect at the Emergency Department

When you arrive at the Emergency Department, you will be greeted at the triage desk. Depending on your child’s condition, you will either be immediately taken to a treatment area or you will be directed to continue at the triage desk.

Following triage, you and your child will meet with a team of care givers in the treatment room. You will be seen by one of our pediatric providers who will assess your child's condition. If necessary, a specialist may be called in to participate in your child’s care. Your child’s physician will then discuss any necessary treatments with you.

The staff at St. John’s Mercy Children's Hospital is committed to easing the burden of ill and injured children. We strive to create a child-friendly atmosphere, and we are proud of our employees who are experienced in treating routine as well as complex medical issues.
