The Express Care Program at the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED)

If you or your child are in need of emergency care, please call 9-1-1 immediately.

About the Express Care Program

Children never seem to get sick during pediatrician's normal business hours.

That's why the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) at The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital is pleased to introduce Express Care. Express Care is an urgent care service offered by the Pediatric ED to treat children with less-serious, non-life threatening injuries and illnesses when your pediatrician's office is closed.

Injuries and illnesses treated through Express Care include:

Express Care is available seven-days-a-week from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. During the month of November, the hours increase from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. to accomodate increases in volumes.  When you arrive at the ED, you will be evaluated by a pediatric triage nurse. If it is determined that your child's condition is considered a minor illness or injury, he or she will be identified as an Express Care patient and taken directly to a room to be treated.

The focus of Express Care is timely, efficient and effective medical care. Our team of experts will provide high quality, pediatric care for your family.

For more information on the Express Care Program at BMSCH, please call the Pediatric ED at (732) 418-8173.
