When your child’s life and health are at risk, confidence in his or her healthcare team means everything. Riley at IU Health is home to Indiana’s only Level I Pediatric Trauma Center. Our doctors specialize in caring for infants and children up to 18 years old when seconds count, and our nurses and other professionals are trained and experienced in working with children and families during health-related emergencies of all kinds.

Caring for Children When Seconds Count

Because we are part of Indiana University Health, our emergency medicine team has access to the latest medical and information technology, including 24-hour access to pediatric radiology, all pediatric subspecialties and all the resources of our nationally ranked academic medical center. Our team members work closely with physician specialists and health professionals throughout the hospital to ensure coordinated, effective care for every patient.

We participate in the Indiana Network for Patient Care, so we can access medical records for most hospitals across Indiana. If your child has been to any participating hospital, our team can quickly access critical information about his or her medical history, drug allergies and specific needs. We will also update your child’s primary care doctor and other healthcare providers on any care he or she receives at our hospital as well as any follow-up care needed.

Child and Family Focused

As part of Riley at IU Health, we offer care that is centered on the needs and comfort of each patient and his or her family. We offer free valet parking for emergency care, and our rapid triage and assessment process ensures your child gets the care he or she needs as quickly as possible. Family members or guardians are supported during the course of stay and are encouraged to remain with their child for most medical procedures.

Our Child Life specialists work with children and families to help ease stress and anxiety during a hospital stay. They are available 24 hours a day, providing an outlet for children to express themselves through play and activities. Our staff members are compassionate and committed to providing everything you and your child may need to make a potentially scary experience as positive and comforting as possible.
