Pediatric Emergency Department

The Pediatric Emergency Department at Upstate Medical University is a 12 bed emergency department with physicians specially trained in pediatric emergency medicine. We are the only dedicated pediatric emergency department and Level I Trauma Center in the region and, as such, specialize in the care of ill and injured children.

Our mission is to provide...

	Courteous, competent, and compassionate care to any ill or injured child.
	A caring, comfortable, and as painless an emergency department experience as possible.
	Education so that parents/guardians have an understanding of their child's illness or injury and an understanding of ways to prevent further illnesses or injuries in the future.

We speak a child's language yet relate to adults for assessment, teaching, and referrals. We provide the necessary knowledge to allow parents/caretakers to successfully impact their children's health outcomes. We ensure comfort, pain relief, and empathy for our children and families. Finally, we spend time ensuring that parents/caretakers understand exactly what is wrong with their child and what they must do to facilitate optimal outcomes.
