Siena Children's Emergency Room

Siena’s Children’s ER is the city of Henderson’s only pediatric Emergency Room, for children from birth to 17. The newly relocated, expanded and remodeled Children’s Emergency Room is completely separate from the adult ER and provides:

• Dedicated Children's ER entrance and waiting area
• Child-friendly, private treatment rooms and waiting area
• Collaborative care with your family pediatrician
• Around-the-clock care – available 24/7, 365 days a year

Parents may rest assured knowing their children are cared for by highly qualified and compassionate pediatricians and staff. When more than emergent care is needed, our team of pediatric ICU and hospitalist physicians, neonatal ICU physicians, pediatric surgeons and specialists, and a multi-disciplinary team including child life specialists will collaborate with your child’s pediatrician. We aim to be the medical center you can depend on from birth to adulthood. 

When should I take my child to the ER?

Though it's always our hope that you and your child won't have to visit an emergency room any time soon, should the need arise, we are here and dedicated to caring for your child in the way only St. Rose Dominican hospitals can - with compassion and quality care.

*This service is only intended for use by those who are seeking care at the ER and do not have life-threatening or debilitating medical complaints. Those indicating a life-threatening or debilitating medical condition during the online registration process (a list of emergency condition filters is built into the system) will immediately be prompted to dial 9-1-1 or go to the nearest ER.

This is not an appointment or reservation service, as emergency triage processes do not allow for the scheduling of treatment. Users are subject to the same triage processes as all other ER patients, including delays caused by changes in patient traffic. Users do not skip in front of other patients. Priority treatment is always given to those with the most urgent medical conditions.
