Exceptional Quality Care
In addition to be recognized as a 100 Top Hospital in the nation for several years, Silver Cross is certified by the Illinois Department of Public Health with having an Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics. This recognition formally identifies Silver Cross as a hospital that provides the necessary resources and capabilities to address the emergency needs of critically ill and injured children. With this recognition, Silver Cross ensures the community that the hospital has a skilled staff, as well as state-of-the art facilities, equipment and supplies that are needed to provide a positive life-saving experience for our pediatric patients. 

Whenever a child is ill or injured, parents want the best care as soon as possible. Just that kind of care is available 24 hours a day close to home due to a partnership between Silver Cross Hospital and Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago.

Inpatient Care
Board-certified Children's Memorial pediatric specialists are available 24hours a day, seven days a week at Silver Cross Hospital to help children of all ages including newborns. These specialists work in partnership with your child's regular pediatrician to provide the best possible care.

New Pediatric Unit—Opening Feb. 26, 2012
The new pediatric unit located on the 4th floor of the Silver Cross Replacement Hospital is licensed for 8 beds. Each large private, patient  room has been designed to be acuity-adaptable, which means that the space, supplies and staff will be available in the room to deliver the appropriate level of care to the patient rather than transfer the patient between units as needs change. And, procedures can be performed at the bedside.

In addition, each pediatric room will include wirreless internet, 30” flat screen TV system, and family-friendly décor with decorative colored lighting that can be controlled by the patient. There will also be a comfortable  ofa-sleeper so parents can stay around the clock to support their child and be involved in the plan of care. A multi-purpose room will also be available for education and family time.

 The unit will include two pediatric high visibility rooms that will be located directly across from the nurse’s station. The rooms will have a video-monitoring feature for safety, especially when the parents are unable to be at the bedside and multiple sets of secured doors in conjunction with a security system for infant/child protection.

Silver Cross will continue to partner with Children’s Memorial Hospital for 24/7 pediatrician coverage to care for patients in the Pediatric Unit.
