In the heat of an emergency, you just want to concentrate on helping your child get healthy. Fast. Whether it’s a sudden illness or injury, we are ready and open 24 / 7, including holidays, to care for your child in a kid-safe, family-friendly environment. Because it’s important for your child to receive the best emergency care available, Fairview’s Pediatric Emergency Department is the right place to be. That’s because we are 100% dedicated to treating children under the age of 17.

Fairview Hospital’s Pediatric Emergency Department is a part of The Children’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Medicine Network. This network was created to bring together the strengths of The Children’s Hospital, The Children’s Hospital outpatient practices, Cleveland Clinic Health System Hospitals and independent community physicians to provide our community with the highest level of pediatric emergency care that is available.

Different by Design
Our comprehensive pediatric emergency medicine services are the only ones on the West Side. Because we are staffed with physicians who are dually-boarded in pediatrics and emergency medicine, and registered nurses with advanced training in Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), your child will receive the highest level of care available. Typical Emergency Rooms do not have the advanced training devoted just to children and Urgent Care Centers do not treat severe illness or injury. We do both. This results in a safer environment for your child to receive treatment in.

In addition to injury and severe illness, we will be there to treat your child’s minor illnesses and injuries when your pediatrician’s office is closed. Previous Fairview Hospital Pediatric Urgicenter patients can continue utilizing this convenient care by simply going to a new location – the Pediatric Emergency Department.

If your child requires advanced care, we collaborate with our Pediatric Department, pediatric surgeons and other in-house specialty services. And we are supported by Fairview’s status as a Level II Trauma Center. This is all excellent news when your child is having an emergency.
