About
After-Hours Pediatric Care
At Cayuga Medical Center we understand that babies, children, and teenagers don’t always get sick or injured on weekdays or when the doctor’s office is open.
To better meet the needs of our community, we offer after-hours outpatient pediatric and adolescent care (infant through 17 years old) in a specialized care setting. Kids Care is staffed by our local pediatric specialists from Buttermilk Falls Pediatrics and Northeast Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, and by registered nurses who are experienced in the care of sick babies and children.
Kids Care is located in the Pediatrics Services Unit at Cayuga Medical Center, providing young patients with outpatient pediatric care outside of the Emergency Department and Urgent Care Centers. Whenever a patient is seen at Kids Care, we provide feedback about the visit as soon as possible to the child’s primary care physician. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition of care and good communication with the child’s established health care provider.
when to go
Kids Care is a walk-in facility for minor illness or injury, such as:
All other serious medical emergencies, go to the nearest Emergency Department or dial 911.
what our patients are saying
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
