How to Prepare for a Trip to the Emergency Room

Caring for children can be hectic even on a good day. However, when your child becomes seriously ill or injured, things can become especially challenging. Having a plan in place can help you prepare for the worst, to help take some of the stress off your shoulders.

If your child has experienced an emergency:

1. Call 911 when applicable
2. Pack all of their current medications
3. Bring any applicable insurance cards and a payment method
4. Consider packing a favorite toy or blanket, chargers for phones, and a change of clothes
5. Coordinate with the paramedics to ensure you are both headed to the nearest emergency room
