 Specialized Treatment for Children

Welcome to the next level of emergency care. As the most advanced emergency room in North Texas, er2 allows our specialists to diagnose and treat children faster than ever. Because we know every second counts if your child has an emergency.

Calmer, Just for Kids
Medical City Children’s Hospital understands that kids need special care. That’s why er2 features a completely separate children’s emergency room independent from the adult emergency room. By keeping the reception and treatment rooms for children separate, we’re able to provide a more soothing environment at er2 and give each child the required individual attention. We know your child deserves the best possible care, so the entire staff of er2 is trained in emergency pediatric care. We also have medical equipment specially designed for children. Our team of emergency pediatric specialists includes board-certified pediatricians and pediatric RNs. A hospitalist is also available onsite daily and on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We also have a highly dedicated Child Life team providing a variety of services and support to our patients and their families. Every room is private with enough space for you to stay with your child. Plus, er2 features cheerful colors, play areas, televisions and an interactive gaming station to help our little patients stay calm and keep their siblings occupied.

Newer and Bigger for Your Convenience

We have a comprehensive emergency team—including physicians, specially trained nurses and physician assistants—to care for our patients. And with over 40,000 square feet of space in er2, your child will receive the needed treatment in comfort. Our goal is to provide immediate bedding, which means you and your child will be taken directly to a private room as soon as one is available. And if a hospital stay is needed, we’ll register your child at his or her bedside so you won’t have to leave the room to be admitted to the hospital. Not only does this expedite the process, it makes registration easier for you and your child.
