The Spence and Becky Wilson Baptist Children's Hospital will open with a Pediatric ER.
At Baptist, we are experts at taking care of kids. The new, 17,000-square-foot-pediatric emergency department, housed within the Spence and Becky Wilson Baptist Children’s Hospital, gives the community another option in pediatric care.
Conveniently located at Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women, it features 10 rooms for patient care ‒ with flexibility to expand to 15 ‒ and is staffed 24/7 with pediatric emergency medicine physicians, pediatric hospitalists and an array of other pediatric specialists, including the Baptist system’s first pediatric general surgeon and a pediatric anesthesiologist.
Boasting a colorful and engaging nature theme designed to appeal to children, the emergency department features a 400-gallon fish tank; whimsical artwork; quilts featuring Baptist’s pediatric mascot, P.D. Parrot, and his gang of friends; and other child-friendly touches. Other pediatric services offered are inpatient and outpatient care, including surgery; diagnostics; and the Pediatric Eye Center, which offers the full spectrum of eye care under one roof.
