Critically ill or injured children: Children’s is a designated pediatric trauma center. We have specialists with advanced training in pediatric and critical care available around the clock, along with 24-hour operating rooms.
Emergency: Our three Emergency Departments are among the busiest in the nation. They’re staffed with physicians, nurses and other experts who are specially trained in caring for children who are sick or injured.
At Children’s, we have one of the most technologically advanced pediatric critical care facilities in the region. Our critical care physicians, neonatologists (newborn intensive care physicians) and pediatric surgeons are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Egleston hospital was named the only Level 1 pediatric trauma center in Georgia—the highest rating of its kind that a hospital can attain for the evaluation and treatment of children with traumatic injuries. Children’s also has one of the few pediatric ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) Centers in the Southeast.
Unlike most adult hospitals, our experts are specially trained to care for critically ill infants and children and use equipment that is sized for children.
