After Hours Telephone Care Program

The After Hours Telephone Care program is a telephone triage and advice service for families of subscribing physicians. Pediatric nurses take evening and weekend calls to answer questions, suggest home care, or if necessary, direct them to an After Hours Care facility. The Children's Hospital staffs several emergency and urgent care sites in the metro area, so care is available closer to home during evenings and weekends.

• After hours telephone coverage for private practice subscribing physicians
• Specially trained pediatric triage nurses
