For Avoiding Injuries And Death by Larry D. Denk, M.D . Welcome to Rochester General Hospital's Pediatric Emergency Department. Your child's health is important to us and we will attend to your family's needs as quickly as possible. Our Pediatric Emergency Department offers complete medical, surgical and psychiatric services.
Triage is the area where a nurse checks to find who is the sickest.
The sickest child is seen first. The Waiting Room is where you wait until we can see your child. Please feel free to use the toys here and the vending machines next to the main Emergency Department waiting area. However, we ask that you do not bring food or drink into the treatment area of the Pediatric Emergency Department. A nurse will call you to an exam room.
