USA Health Children’s and Women’s Hospital Pediatric ER
USA Health Children’s & Women’s Hospital has a new Pediatric Emergency Center. The new emergency center is now double the size with more than 30 treatment areas including 25 private rooms. The center provides more space for parents and caregivers to be with their children and offers sensory strategies to help calm and support patients during their emergency visit.
“This is transformative,” said Edward Panacek, M.D., M.P.H., professor and chair of the department of emergency medicine. “The state-of-the-art capabilities of this new Pediatric Emergency Center, staffed by the only pediatric emergency specialists in the region, bring truly world-class pediatric care to Mobile.”
It is open 24 hours daily and the only emergency department in Alabama that is certified to have 100% pediatric readiness, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.
