<\/a>Matthew Locklair, MD, also a board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physician at the Wolfson ERs in Jacksonville and at Clay, said, “Only a small percentage of children who come to our ERs need to be hospitalized, but if they do need inpatient or specialty care, we can transition them quickly and seamlessly to Wolfson Children\u2019s Hospital. We work daily with the pediatric specialty physicians at Wolfson and can make sure kids get directly to the care they need.”<\/p>\nHe added, \u201cOur Kids Kare ICU transport team is comprised of pediatric critical care professionals who can help stabilize the child on his way to Wolfson Children\u2019s Hospital from our Children\u2019s ER or any local ER. We have a helipad at Baptist Clay if air transport is required.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Pohlgeers said, \u201cAlthough our environment is kid-friendly, it isn\u2019t just about soothing colors, art and toys in our rooms. It\u2019s about the people who are taking care of your child. We have unique experience and the expertise because what we do is take care of kids. We are an extension of Wolfson Children\u2019s Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just because I do this for a living that I say I wouldn\u2019t want any child I love to go anyplace but a pediatric ER in an emergency,\u201d said Dr. Locklair. \u201cParents and grandparents can have peace of mind knowing we are backed by the region\u2019s only children\u2019s hospital. That\u2019s what makes our Wolfson Children\u2019s ERs different.\u201d<\/p>\n
