What if I need to take my child to the Emergency Department?

The Emergency Department on the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus has an urgent care fast track where general pediatricians are available to see your child. Members of our general pediatric team are available 7 days a week.

What if my child requires hospitalization?

Sometimes children become ill and need to be admitted to the hospital for special tests or treatments. This can be a very scary time for parents. Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital has a special team of pediatric hospitalists who will take care of your child in the hospital. Hospitalists are general pediatricians with special expertise in taking care of hospitalized children. A member of our hospitalist's team will see your child everyday throughout the hospitalization and will answer questions about your child's care daily at your child's bedside.
