Emergency Services

Cook Children's emergency services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If your child is unconscious, not responding, a bone is sticking out, or the situation seems critical. Dial 9-1-1 immediately for an ambulance. When your child's condition is life threatening or might cause permanent harm, it is safer for your child to be transported via ambulance.
