Tips to set your kids up for school year success.
Children’s Wisconsin Emergency Department and urgent care clinics continue to provide the care families need. Just because schools are closed doesn’t mean kids stop breaking arms, swallowing whatever they can get their little hands on, developing dangerously high fevers or experiencing a serious medical scare.
Many steps have been put in place to keep you and your child safe when you come to our Emergency Room or an urgent care location. One thing that hasn’t changed is the dedication and commitment our staff and providers have for treating kids.
As the only Level I pediatric trauma center in the region, the Children’s Wisconsin Emergency Department on the Milwaukee campus remains open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for critical care. As always, you should call 911 for emergencies.
If your doctor or another medical expert is recommending you come to the Emergency Department, know we have taken many steps to keep you and your child safe, including:
As a reminder, Children’s Wisconsin is not a public testing location for COVID-19. If you are concerned your child may have COVID-19, please call your or your child’s primary care doctor, who can help decide if your child should be tested.
Our urgent care providers continue to be available for families and you can see what conditions can be evaluated through video on the online urgent care website. We have expanded the amount of doctors providing urgent care video visits, limiting the families who need to come to physical office for an exam. Some of urgent care locations are closed, so please check our website to find an open location and to reserve a time online.
While COVID-19 typically presents mildly in children, it’s natural to have questions and concerns. All you want is what’s best for your child. That is our goal, too.
Please do not hesitate to call your child’s doctor’s office, use MyChart messaging or call your clinic.
