Summer activities are fun for kids, but can involve cuts, scrapes and bruises when you least expect them.
The new Randall Children’s Urgent Care in Beaverton treats kids with injuries and illnesses that need immediate attention, but are not life-threatening. The new Urgent Care is staffed by physicians and nurses who specialize in pediatrics and emergency medicine and is backed by the expertise of Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel.
Randall Children’s Urgent Care provides expert urgent care to babies, kids and teens up to 18 years old in the evening and on weekends, times when pediatricians’ offices are usually closed. The urgent care is close to home for the community in the western suburbs and accepts walk-in and scheduled visits by phone or online.
Many urgent cares have been established to bridge the gap between primary care and emergency care. As in any other area of health care, it is important to have urgent cares that specialize in the needs of kids. Features unique to a pediatric-focused urgent care include a facility that is designed and built specifically for young patients and is staffed by doctors and nurses specially trained in the latest kids’ care.
The most common reasons to take your child to the Urgent Care are: cough, sore throat and fever; cuts and bruises; and vomiting and diarrhea. We treat kids with most illnesses and injuries that are not medical emergencies, including:
- Allergies
- Asthma attacks
- Broken bones (bone not sticking out)
- Colds, coughs and sore throats
- Cuts and bruises
- Earaches
- Eye problems
- Fevers in infants (older than three months of age)
- Foreign object removal
- Head injury without passing out
- Incision and drainage
- Rashes
- Stitches
- Stomach aches
- Strains and sprains
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration
- X-ray
For more serious injuries or illnesses, Randall Children’s Hospital has kids-only emergency rooms in Portland and Vancouver, open 24 hours a day.
We recommend the emergency room if your child has: bleeding that won’t stop, fever in infants younger than three months of age, life-threatening emergencies, passing out due to head injury, poisoning, severe stomach pain and seizure.
We recommend you consult with your child’s doctor if you have questions about your child’s health or if you are not sure where to take your child. If you think your child requires emergency medical treatment, please call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room.
