Irving, Texas-based Christus Health has expanded its network with a pediatric emergency care center in San Antonio. The center provides care for newborn to teen pediatric patients and has been designed specifically for children.
“Children often experience illness and injury differently than adults, and their conditions can change rapidly,” Cris Daskevich, CEO of Christus Children’s said in a news release. “Having pediatric-trained clinicians, specialized equipment and immediate access to pediatric experts can make a meaningful difference in a child’s care experience.”
The emergency center features 10 treatment rooms, a full laboratory with X-ray, CT and ultrasound imaging. It also includes a multispecialty clinic offering pediatric general surgery, gastroenterology, adolescent bariatric care and urology. Longer-term plans for the center will include cardiology, neurology and endocrinology services.
The center adds to the system’s network of pediatric emergency care services, including facilities in Westover Hills and Stone Oak, Texas.
