Our pediatric specialty services

We are home to a family of hospitals that provides advanced and specialized diagnostics and treatments for infants, children and young adults.

Pediatric hospital care

We offer comprehensive children's medical and surgical services at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children's main facility and their sister hospital, Sky Ridge Medical Center. Both pediatric hospital units are staffed by expert nurses and doctors and feature spacious rooms with child-focused amenities such as playrooms with toys, books and video games.

For more intensive or advanced pediatric care, we will transfer your child to our pediatric hospital. There, we have a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with advanced operating suites and a full spectrum of pediatric specialties.

Pediatric emergency care

Our emergency rooms (ERs) (including our freestanding ERs) offer specialized pediatric emergency care. Additionally, if your child's emergency requires them to need continuing care in a hospital, we can easily transfer them to our children's hospital, Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.

When to take a child to the ER

If you believe your child is having a medical emergency, call 911. However, if it is not a medical emergency, it can be difficult to decide whether or not to take your child to the ER. It may help to know that we typically treat kids with symptoms such as:

"Ouchless" ERs for children

Our pediatric-friendly ERs are also "ouchless." This means our services for kids include:

  • Coordinated and concentrated effort to reduce pain and anxiety for both children and their parents
  • Pain-free intravenous (IV) starts
  • Tools for pediatric sedation that provide relaxation and comfort
Pediatric surgery

We offer a minimally invasive pediatric surgery program. Our pediatric surgeons are experts in reducing pain, lowering risk of complications during surgery and comforting your child before and after their surgery.

Pediatric specialists

Our pediatric specialists pride themselves on delivering attentive, kid-friendly care while creating comfortable environments for kids and their parents. To do this, every one of our affiliated hospitals adheres to the same high-quality clinical and customer service standards.
