St. Louis Children's Hospital at Northwest Healthcare ER
The St. Louis Children’s Hospital at Northwest HealthCare emergency room (ER) is now staffed 24-7 by Washington University pediatricians whose entire focus is caring for children with a variety of illnesses and injuries.
With age-specific developmental needs and weight-based treatments, it’s important to have experienced pediatric nurses and physicians who know children – inside and out – and kid-sized equipment. Kid-friendly amenities also help make your child’s experience a little bit less scary.
In cases where more specialized care is required, the staff will quickly arrange for transport to St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
Christian Hospital and Northwest HealthCare, members of BJC HealthCare, provide world-class medical care to the communities of North County, Greater St. Louis County and Southern Illinois.
