St. Rita's knows that treating children requires special care and special
environments—that's why we have a dedicated pediatric emergency department
(Pedi ED). Pediatric patients ages 14 and younger are treated in a separate
area of the emergency department. Board certified pediatricians, trained in
emergency medicine, take extra care as they diagnose children in a comfortable
environment where they can feel safe. The nursing staff are also trained and
certified in critical care nursing and age appropriate growth and development.
St. Rita's Pedi ED has the full support of all ancillary services including
advanced radiology, laboratory and specialty outpatient referrals, in addition
to limited after-hours pharmacy services.
The Pediatric Emergency Department is open from 12:00 noon to 12:00 midnight
(please note that hours may vary pending patient census and acuity), seven
days a week, including holidays. Ancillary services are available 24-hours
a day, seven days a week. Pediatric patients that present to the emergency
department "after hours" are triaged and treated in the Acute Care Emergency
Department and/or through Emergency Express Care.
