Treatments and Services

In addition to evaluation and treatment of emergency medical concerns, we provide connections to all other departments at BMC as needed.

Pediatric social work and child psychiatry staff are also available to address the social and emotional needs of patients, such as:

• Mental health
• Family or relationship problems
• Immigration and refugee services
• Parenting
• Shelter and food
• Unemployment
• Violence

Child Life Services

The pediatric ED offers a Child Life Program, which strives to achieve a standard of pain-free pediatric care. Fun, child-oriented activities provide patients with a variety of distraction and coping techniques for procedures and treatments. Play provides children with a safe outlet for anxiety, sadness, and other emotions that may accompany a visit to the Emergency Department.
