Pediatric ECC

Should your child need emergency care, you’ll be glad to know that Covenant HealthCare has the only designated and comprehensive Pediatric Emergency Care Center serving mid-Michigan and the lower north Michigan region. 

When the Covenant Emergency Care Center was being designed and built in 2000-2001, a special area was designated just for children. We understand that children are different from adults, which means their health needs require individual attention and closer monitoring. Each pediatric treatment room is child-friendly and appointed with child-sized medical equipment. What’s more, each room is uniquely designed in vibrant colors featuring familiar childhood themes incorporating paintings, art, fish tanks, Eye Spy shadow boxes and more, which fosters a more pleasant experience for ill children and their parents. Each room also features a TV to make children feel more comfortable and provide a distraction during a procedure or test.

Open seven days a week from 2 pm until 2:00 am, the peak hours of children’s emergency situations, the Pediatric Emergency Care Center provides specialized emergency care for ill or injured children.

If a child requires more advanced medical care, Covenant has board-certified pediatric intensivists on staff to provide enhanced care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Additionally, Covenant, in affiliation with FlightCare, offers 24-hour air medical transport for children who are seriously ill or injured to get them to medical care as quickly as possible.
