Special Message About COVID-19

At Connecticut Children’s, the safety of our patients, patient families and team members is our number one priority. In alignment with CDC recommendations, we have updated our COVID-19 policies for Urgent Care visits. Only 1 parent/legal guardian/designated adult is allowed at the appointment. No additional individuals, including siblings, are permitted.

These restrictions are an important way for us to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and keep our patients and communities safe.

When Sprints Mean Sprains

With kids and teens getting outdoors for sports and other activities, the risk for injuries increases. Teens’ and children’s ligaments are stronger than their bones. As a result, they’re more likely to suffer broken bones from the kinds of injuries that would generally lead to sprains or ligament tears in adults. Getting treatment for these types of injuries as quickly as possible is vital for a safe and speedy recovery and return to play. At Connecticut Children’s we offer guaranteed next-day appointments in our Orthopedics and Sports Medicine specialties for patients who require an immediate follow-up. With several convenient locations, your child or teen will have care from the best pediatric orthopedic physicians in Connecticut! Learn More
