What is after hours care?

After hours care is supplemental medical care at Kids First Pediatric Clinic, LLC. With after hours care, it grants your child access to personalized care schedules whenever they need it. The team can focus solely on your child’s unique needs when they arise and their health goals.

What is included in after hours care?

After hours care gives your child the opportunity to receive additional support that isn’t included in traditional health care or regular office hours, such as:

• Longer visits 
• 24/7 access to your provider
• Little or no waiting times
• Quick prescription refills
• Additional chronic disease management
• Comprehensive preventive care
• Ongoing mental health support

Without the stress of rushed appointments, the team at Kids First Pediatric Clinic, LLC, can concentrate on your child’s long-term health and wellness.

If you have any urgent concerns or questions, after care hours also allow you to reach out to your child’s pediatrician at any time. 

Why might my child need after hours care?

Physicians who offer after care hours can spend more time with their patients. Your child might have health needs that arise after normal business hours which require prompt medical help or support. 

Not only does this model result in closer doctor-patient relationships, but it also ensures that your child gets the care they need when they need it most.

If you’ve felt frustrated by the traditional model of care, with brief appointments and long wait times in the office, an after hours care plan is the perfect solution. 

How is after hours care different from the emergency room? 

After hours care is for non-life threatening conditions, while emergency rooms (ERs) are best reserved for life-threatening situations. ERs are equipped with life-saving technology that can only be found in hospitals.

You should reach out to the nearest ER if your child has any of the following conditions: 

• Loss of consciousness 
• Head injuries and concussions
• Difficulty breathing 
• Deep wounds 
• Excessive bleeding 
• Major fractures (broken bones) and pain
• Seizures
