Pediatric Emergency Medicine
With about 100,000 patient visits a year, we have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of emergencies in infants, children, teens and young adults. We're familiar with the vast differences in children's anatomy, injuries and illnesses, and are able to provide treatment that meets their unique medical needs.

Akron Children's experienced team of pediatric board-certified doctors, nurses, technicians and child life specialists have special training and knowledge in pediatric emergency medicine. We understand children have different muscular, skeletal, vascular and neurological systems from adults, and they're at higher risk for head injuries and blood loss.
If your child or teen is experiencing a mental health crisis, our Akron ER offers behavioral health emergency services with staff trained to evaluate and treat children and teens who present with mental and behavioral problems. The unit includes five rooms with muted colors and safety features designed to create a calming environment that can minimize anxiety and aggression.
To provide a safe, secure environment for our patients, visitors and staff, we screen all patients, families and visitors entering our Akron and Beeghly campus emergency departments.
- A public safety officer will inspect all bags and ask visitors to pass through a metal detector to check for weapons, illegal drugs and other dangerous items.
- Patients needing immediate attention will be assisted by ED staff and screened with a hand-held device once the patient is stabilized in an exam room.
- Patients arriving by ambulance will be screened by a hand-held device once they are stabilized in an exam room. Visitors arriving by ambulance may be screened by hand-held device or asked to walk through the metal detector.
Legally possessed items not permitted to enter the ER may be stored in the owner’s vehicle or secured by the Public Safety officer in a locker during the visitor’s stay. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in helping us ensure everyone’s safety at the hospital.
