If you need to bring your child to the emergency room, Ivy Pediatrics
recommends any of the hospitals listed here. If a child needs to be
hospitalized, they will be taken care of by the pediatric hospitalists. We
do not see patients in the hospital, but we closely coordinate the care with
the pediatric hospitalists.
