At St. Joseph, Pediatrics After Hours offers fast care to pediatric patients and peace of mind to parents. As an extension of the St. Joseph Emergency Department, Pediatric After Hours is open from 12 noon to 12 midnight, 7 days a week. This service provides expert pediatric care when physician offices are closed or when physicians are unavailable to accommodate urgent or emergency visits. Pediatrics After Hours is available directly to parents by appointment - this allows sick children to wait at home until their appointment. Specialized pediatric doctors and nurses provide care for virtually all types of illness in infants and children through age 18. Pediatrics After Hours offers parents the ability to make same-day appointments directly. Walk-ins are also accepted, however, it is best to call and make an appointment. If the problem is assessed to be severe, the staff ensures that the patient has access to the main Emergency Department, as well as the full backup of other hospital services.

Pediatrics After Hours is for minor emergencies and will be billed as an Emergency Department visit (with an ED insurance co-pay). Any inquiries regarding your child's insurance coverage should be directed to the Managed Care Department at 410.337.1554 or 410.337.1494.
