As a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center, Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) is well prepared to care for children in emergency situations from neonate through adolescence.
Pediatric Emergency Care
All pediatric patients are immediately roomed or placed in an internal lobby in the peds department.
Our pediatric-trained physicians and nurses attend to more than 12,500 patient visits each year.
Pediatric Emergency Care & Your Family
Our Pediatric Emergency Department is located right next to the adult emergency facility in the Red Building.
When multiple family members experience trauma or illness they can stay together in the same area.
It’s easier for loved ones to stay connected in times of crisis.
