Where Is the Best Place to Take My Sick or Injured Child?
When your child has an injury or illness at a time when his pediatrician’s office is closed, it can be hard to know what to do.
Should you take him to an urgent care center or the emergency department, or should you wait until his doctor’s office is open?
Both ERs and urgent care centers are positioned to help care for your child in unique ways. Where you go can make a difference in what medical equipment and tools are available to fully assess your child.
