Dedicated pediatric ER

Our network is proud to have an ER devoted to treating infants, children and teens when they need it most. Our pediatric ER at HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Children's at Presbyterian St. Luke's is open 24/7 for child-focused medical treatment. We have shorter wait times than non-pediatric ERs and smaller equipment designed for a child's smaller body. When you come through our doors, we provide your child with swift, effective emergency care.

Our board-certified pediatric emergency doctors not only understand your child's physical health but also their emotional health. Your child's care team works hard to help alleviate the stress associated with coming to the ER. Even our décor and environment are designed to keep your child — and you — feeling calm and reassured.

Comprehensive emergency care for children

We understand that coming to the ER can be a stressful experience for you and your child. In addition to our children's ER, our network has other hospitals with kid-friendly emergency departments. We offer access to doctors, nurses and technicians who are specially trained to work with children in a warm, developmentally appropriate manner. We also use child-sized medical equipment to evaluate and treat your child.

  • Cardiology
  • Ear, nose and throat (ENT)
