Our 10,000 square-foot Pediatric Emergency Department is designed to take care of the youngest patients through teenagers. We are the only designated Level I pediatric trauma center in the region (the first in Virginia). We have 12 large exam rooms, with recliners for families and 4 fast-track rooms, where we can treat and release children with conditions such as ear infections, colds and rashes. Our Child Life Specialists know that emergencies can be stressful for your child (and you). At every stage of care, our child life team is available to talk with your child and explain what is happening to them in the most appropriate ways for their age and condition. The team has master’s level training in how to make this less stressful for your child. In addition to emergency physicians, we have a comprehensive team of Nurse Practitioners, award-winning Nurses, Social Workers and others to provide a continuum of care, as up to 40% of pediatric emergency patients are admitted to the hospital.
