Emergency Medicine

Connecticut Children’s is designated as a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center that evaluates and treats more than 60,000 children each year. It is one of only two free-standing children’s hospitals in New England—and the only free-standing children’s hospital in Connecticut—able to provide the highest level of emergency care to children suffering from traumatic injuries.

With COVID-19 cases increasing locally, and flu and RSV season in full swing, our Emergency Department and Urgent Care are frequently at capacity. If you only require testing for COVID-19 and do not have any other medical emergency, we ask that you utilize local testing centers near you when possible instead of our emergency care facilities.
