Parents and caregivers are often tasked with the difficult decision of seeking medical care for a sick child. When a child wakes up in tears, with a stomach bug, feeling hot to the touch with a fever, or something else, a caretaker can't help but feel helpless. Denver Health's pediatricians are here for a child's health concern, day or night. Our urgent care and emergency department pediatricians offer around the clock care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at our Pediatric Emergency Department and Urgent Care.
