COVID-19 Safety Protocols
Wolfson Children’s has the most experienced pediatric emergency teams around. From broken bones and breathing problems to traumatic injuries, we are the experts at caring for kids with life-threatening and urgent medical needs.
We know that children have their own unique medical needs and our children's emergency centers are built with your child’s growing body in mind. Wolfson Children’s has special protocols, equipment and staff to handle serious pediatric issues that may arise from seemingly minor symptoms.
In the event of a serious traumatic injury, bring your child to the Porter Family Children’s Trauma Center at our downtown campus. With a 24/7 in-house pediatric trauma team, we provide faster, direct access to specialized care during the critical "golden hour" following a trauma.
Our ER and Trauma Center in downtown Jacksonville earned the Emergency Nurses Association Lantern Award. This honor is bestowed on emergency departments that exemplify exceptional practice and innovative performance in the core areas of nursing leadership, practice, education, advocacy, and research.
We don’t just say we know kids, we really do know kids. Wolfson Children’s has been caring for children in our region since 1955. Treatment at our emergency centers comes with the full range of resources of our nationally recognized children’s hospital. That means quick access to doctors representing 30+ pediatric specialties when it matters most.
Sometimes a child’s condition may not appear serious; however, our pediatric ER specialists have extensive training and experience caring for kids, so they are able to recognize even the smallest of signs when a child is in trouble.
Kid-sensitive imaging is our specialty. We use “Image Gently” protocols to give children the lowest dose of radiation possible while still providing accurate results.
Hospitals and physicians can arrange transportation of critically ill children to Wolfson Children’s Hospital from another facility on our helicopters, plane or Kids Kare Mobile Intensive Care Unit. Newborns to teenagers will receive the critical care they may need while en route.
