In collaboration with MassGeneral for Children, our Emergency Department is the only facility in the region to provide a full range of infant, child, and adolescent acute care from emergency services to pediatric follow-up as well as a section of the Emergency Department waiting area designated to our young patients.
Each child and family who come to our emergency department will receive care from a multidisciplinary team of pediatric providers, nurses, support staff and more.
