UPMC Children's Hamot

In partnership with UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, UPMC Hamot provides top-quality care to pediatric patients in its Emergency Department (ED).

Why Is Specialized Pediatric Emergency Care Important?

Research shows critically ill children have better outcomes when their local hospital is equipped to respond to pediatric emergencies.

Working together with pediatric emergency medicine experts at UPMC Children's Hospital, the ED at UPMC Hamot gives our medical staff the ability to provide each child with the four rights:

• The right care.
• By the right provider.
• In the right place.
• At the right time.

This means getting your child the best emergency care, whether at a hospital close to home or at UPMC Children's if they need to be transferred. And if your child needs follow-up care, we'll make the appointment for you before you even leave our ED.

Dedicated to Caring for Kids

The partnership between UPMC Hamot's ED and the ED at UPMC Children's is the latest example of the high-quality, convenient pediatric care that residents of the Erie region have come to expect.
