When your child needs care, we’re here

A message from the president of Greenwich Hospital

As a mother, I’m familiar with the panic that can set in when you are rushing an injured child to the Emergency Department or you learn that your sick child needs to be hospitalized.

At these times, the only thing that can bring parents some comfort is knowing their child is in the hands of highly skilled pediatric experts who understand the nuances of caring for children and teens in a compassionate setting.

Through its partnership with Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital (YNHCH) and Yale Medicine, Greenwich Hospital is able to provide pediatric coverage around the clock to infants, children and teens. The bottom line: There is no need to travel great distances to access advanced pediatric care. Everything you need is right here.

At Greenwich Hospital, YNHCH pediatric emergency medicine physicians diagnose and treat children in our pediatric Emergency Department. Yale Medicine pediatric hospitalists care for children in the inpatient pediatric unit. The YNHCH Pediatric Specialty Center in Greenwich brings Yale Medicine pediatric specialists and subspecialists to our local community. Our Level III-B Neonatal Intensive Care Unit cares for sick and premature newborns. Families and pediatric providers can easily connect with Yale Medicine physicians via telehealth.

All of our pediatric experts collaborate with community pediatricians and work closely with the child’s family to design the most appropriate care plan. And in those rare cases when a child needs a higher level of care, Greenwich Hospital can seamlessly transfer the child to Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital in New Haven. That’s the beauty of being part of Yale New Haven Health, a world-class healthcare system that puts the needs of patients and their loved ones first.
