Pediatrics Care When You Need It

Waiting is the last thing you want to do when your child feels sick. MetroHealth has options to help get them feeling better quicker.

Whether your family is dealing with minor childhood illness or injury or something more serious, we offer fast appointments so your little one can start feeling better sooner. You can visit the Pediatric Walk-In Clinic, and your child will be seen by a board-certified pediatrician.

After hours, you can take your child to one of our MetroExpressCare after-hours walk-in clinics and get help for your child's minor illnesses and injuries.

MetroHealth also has you covered if your child needs to be admitted to the hospital. From our NICU to our pediatric inpatient unit, family-centered rounds allow the family to stay involved in the care of their child. Our Child Life specialists focus on the children and their families to help them cope with the hospital experience, to minimize the fear and stress of hospitalization.

The bottom line: Your child can get care—no matter what time it is—through MetroHealth.
