Pediatric Emergency and Trauma Services
When an infant or child is critically ill or injured, evidence shows that timely access to expert emergency and trauma care can mean the difference between life and death.
At UCSF, we recognize that children aren't just small adults – they need specialized care, especially during emergencies. Through Pediatric Emergency Medicine, we treat babies, children and adolescents with serious or life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Our ERs are staffed 24-7 with doctors and nurses trained in pediatric emergency care, and the facilities are equipped and designed with the unique needs of children in mind. Our Oakland hospital has an ACS-verified Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, one of only six in California offering the level of comprehensive care that merits that designation from the American College of Surgeons.
