Our pediatric Urgent Care Centers provide fast, convenient, after-hours care for children with non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries that don’t need the resources of an emergency department (ED). Urgent Care Centers are staffed by board-certified pediatricians and pediatric nurses from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Onsite X-ray, COVID-19 testing, EKG and labs are also available. Learn about the difference between urgent care and ER services, when to choose each and how to find a location near you. Hours vary by location.

To keep our patients, families and staff safe from COVID-19 and other respiratory viral infections like the flu, we continue to review and adjust our visitation policies. Please read these guidelines before coming to any CHOP location, and remember all eligible visitors are required to wear a mask at all times. Learn what you can expect when you visit CHOP during COVID-19.
