Who is it for?
Non-critically ill children needing routine medical care when their Pediatric Office is closed.
Why do they do it?
The Clinic provides a convenient, less expensive alternative to the emergency department (ED) for treating children. Patients are billed for a regular office visit rather than an ED visit.
Impact
Approximately 2,000 children per year receive services via the Clinic, increasing access to primary pediatric care and easing ED flow.
