The Children’s Hospital at St. Mary’s Medical Center is pleased to celebrate 15 years of outstanding service for its Pediatric Emergency Department.
For more than a decade, the Pediatric Emergency Department has provided comprehensive care during pediatric medical or trauma-related emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
“This ED has qualified physicians, nurses and staff with specialized training and the heart to give children the extra care they deserve,” said Jean Pierre, M.D., double board-certified pediatrician and emergency physician, who’s worked at the Children’s Hospital at St. Mary’s since 1997. The pediatric ER was originally operated much like an urgent care center, and it was called “Kids Corner.” After four years, it was decided that the pediatric ER needed a more approximate location to the adult ER. In 1995, the center moved to its current location, where it became the Children’s Emergency Department at St. Mary’s Medical Center.
