BMC’s Pediatric Emergency Department delivers emergency care to patients ages newborn to 22 years old 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. When a child arrives at our emergency room, our trained nurses make an evaluation and ensure that they get the care they need from our expert staff. Please understand that in any emergency room, the most urgent cases must be seen first, regardless of the order in which patients arrive. .cta2{background-color:#f4efd9;} @media (max-width:768px) { .ctaThumb{padding:15px;} .cta2{background-color:#fff;} } ### Emergency Department (Pediatrics) - [Contact Us](#contact-us) - [Related Departments and Clinics](#related-departments-and-clinics) - [Our Team](#our-team) - [Additional Information](#additional-information) - [Academic Research](#academic-research) - [Graduate Medical Education](#graduate-medical-education) ## Contact Us ##### Pediatrics Emergency Department (PED) [ 725 Albany Street, Boston, MA 02118 BMC, Emergency Department ](https://www.google.com/maps/place/725+Albany+St,+Boston,+MA+02118/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89e37b326c8a854b:0x9b118b57760f0d52?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) [617.414.4991](tel:617.414.4991) 24 hours a day [ ![ED move & various,](https://assets.bmc.org/transform/58f032b8-b601-4192-a87a-368119b8baaf/IMG_4986?io=transform:fill,width:300,height:200&format=jpg) ](/locations/bmc-emergency-department) ## Related Departments and Clinics [### Inpatient Unit (Pediatrics) BMC’s pediatric Inpatient Unit provides hospital care for patients ranging in age from newborn to 22 years.
