Training
Our Emergency Department physicians and nursing staff are specially trained to treat kids.
Transport Team
Sometimes children require a specialized level of care and need to be transported to Sunrise Children’s Hospital. When that happens, the dedicated Transport Team at Sunrise Children’s helps transport infants and children to the hospital where a team of experts is waiting to care for the child.
Transport Method
Transport services are available through ambulance, fixed wing and helicopter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Triage
When patients come to the emergency department they are brought to triage to be quickly assessed by a nurse specially trained in pediatric emergency medicine. Once assessed, they are brought to a private room to see the physician.
The Pediatric Emergency Room at Sunrise Children’s Hospital provides state-of-the-art care to more than 30,000 children each year in an atmosphere designed to reduce fear and anxiety for both the child and his/her family.
Providing medical care to children, especially in an emergency, can be difficult. During these stressful times our physicians, nurses and other members of the healthcare team rely on their years of experience to provide the care and comfort that is needed. The Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day by physicians who are board certified in pediatrics and pediatric emergency medicine. The nursing staff includes highly trained pediatric nurses who care for your child in a caring and compassionate manner. The nurses maintain certifications in Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Trauma Nurse Core Curriculum. Pediatric specialists are available for consultations at all times based on your child’s medical condition.
