Emergency services at Primary Children's Hospital are a collaboration of efforts between the hospital, trauma, and Life Flight services. Our hospital is a full-service, designated Trauma 1 Pediatric Center, certified by the American College of Surgeons. We are the only Pediatric Trauma 1 Center in the Intermountain West and serve patients in a 6-state region.

Our Emergency Department staff of physicians, nurses, technicians, and respiratory therapists strives to work in small teams to minimize repetition of information and streamline each family's visit. The ED also works in partnership with pediatricians in the Rapid Treatment Unit, a short-stay unit for care of hospitalized children who will have shorter stays. All attending physicians in Primary Children's Emergency Department are board certified in Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics.
