Emergencies don’t always happen between business hours. That’s why Hillcrest Hospital offers pediatric emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our pediatric specialists are ready to care for your child around the clock with equipment that is sized appropriately.
As the only Pediatric Emergency Department on the East side, we are committed to providing superior care to your child. Our services are part of the Children’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Medicine Network. This network was created to bring together the strengths of the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital, their outpatient practices, the Cleveland Clinic community hospitals and independent physicians to provide our community with the highest level of pediatric care.

Available Twenty-Four Hours A Day
We are open around the clock, even when most pediatrician offices are closed. We are well aware that emergencies are never planned, and we are here to help twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Patients are seen in our specialized Pediatric Emergency Department unit, seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. During the early morning hours, 1 a.m. to 9 a.m., our dedicated team of pediatric specialists treat children in a dedicated area of the main hospital Emergency Department.
