Pediatric Emergency Room
Each year, Jamaica Hospital treats tens of thousands of children in our Pediatric Emergency Room. Our child-friendly unit is welcoming and is designed in a manner that reduces fear and anxiety in children. A vibrant jungle theme is used throughout the unit to spark the imaginations of our smallest patients.
Registration, treatment and waiting rooms are separated from adult treatment areas, so that children can be cared for in spaces specially designed for their comfort. Our pediatric waiting room has toys, gaming systems and televisions available for children to enjoy.
Jamaica Hospital employs Board Certified pediatricians who specialize in providing emergency medical care to children of all ages and treating medical conditions of all levels of severity. Our pediatric ER nurses possess various certifications including Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) needed to provide the best care to children in an emergency room setting.
