After-Hours Triage - Pediatric

• Monday–Friday: 5 p.m. – 8 a.m.
• Saturday and Sunday: 24 hours
• Holidays: 24 hours

If you are unsure of the type of care your child needs, or if you have questions about your child’s health, our pediatric nurses are ready to help. Nurses will quickly and efficiently answer your urgent calls to ensure your child receives proper care.

This can include:

• Answering questions about medication dosage or at-home care
• Offering at-home treatment options for mild symptoms or illnesses
• Referrals to a doctor’s office for next-day treatment
• Recommending treatment at an emergency department or urgent care center if necessary

The service line also uses Schmitt-Thompson Protocols, developed by two physicians and in conjunction with the American Institute for Preventive Medicine. These protocols are the gold standard for effective triage services, ensuring consistent and quality care.
