Please note: the Pediatric Emergency Department has moved to an expanded, more convenient location across from the Adult Emergency Department near the Emergency entrance (just down the hall from the former location). The new space offers a larger waiting area and more privacy and comfort for our young patients and their families, with the same great care! Clear directional signage is posted.
Kids surprise us everyday. That’s why Hillcrest Hospital offers pediatric emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our pediatric specialists are ready to care for your child around the clock with equipment that is sized appropriately.
As the only Pediatric Emergency Department on the East side, we are committed to providing superior care to your child. Our services are part of the Children’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Medicine Network. This network was created to bring together the strengths of the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital, their outpatient practices, the Cleveland Clinic community hospitals and independent physicians to provide our community with the highest level of pediatric care.
