Pediatric After Hours Clinics & Advice Service:
When after-hours help is needed, please only use those services and sites that are staffed by Pediatric professionals:
For any serious or life threatening symptom:
Call 911 immediately. Advice will be given and paramedics will be dispatched, usually, faster than you could reach any Emergency Room.
Children’s Emergency Room visits:
Problems, such as: life-threatening illnesses; serious injuries; seizures, unconsciousness, etc. warrant calling 911 and having EMTs arrive, or going directly to one of these Emergency Rooms.
1) CPMC Van Ness Hospital,  2) UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital,  3) Oakland Children’s Hospital,
4) San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH for major trauma). These Emergency Rooms always have pediatricians available, any other sites will have much less pediatric expertise:
After-hours illnesses that are not clearly emergencies may first be discussed with the advice nurse, who can suggest interim care, allowing you to avoid the ER and even to stay home until the office opens.
