Children's Hospital Opens Pediatric Emergency Room

$4.4 million, 11,000-square-foot facility expands network of services for residents of Jefferson Parish

By HFT Editorial Staff


A new $4.4 million, 11,000-square-foot facility expands the Children’s Hospital New Orleans network of services for residents of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, delivering emergency care in an environment designed for kids and families.

The new, 11-bed emergency room enhances access to pediatric emergency services for Jefferson Parish children and families, providing a complete range of emergency services to care for children from birth through age 21, in addition to scheduled imaging tests.

The new facility offers 24/7 full-service emergency care. The comprehensive emergency center connects specialized pediatric emergency services with Children’s Hospital’s network of pediatric specialists. Diagnostic imaging services include CT scans, X-ray, and ultrasound.

In addition to the new, Metairie-based emergency room, Children’s Hospital operates two other emergency departments, including at West Jefferson Medical Center, and at the hospital’s main campus in New Orleans, which houses the largest pediatric emergency department in Louisiana, with 46 beds and more than 50,000 patient visits per year.
