Riley Children’s Health now offers emergency care in Fishers

FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — Riley Children’s Health has opened a new pediatric emergency unit at Indiana University Health Fishers, offering 24/7 emergency care for children in Fishers.

The new facility provides specialized pediatric emergency services, including a dedicated children’s entrance, waiting room, and patient rooms, staffed by board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physicians.

“Pediatric patients have unique medical needs. This unit is designed to meet those needs in a kid-friendly environment, with care delivered by experts who treat children every day,” Medical Director Dr. Dan Slubowski said in a press release.

The opening of Riley Children’s Emergency Medicine at IU Health Fishers is part of the ongoing Fishers Community Impact Project, aimed at enhancing healthcare access and services in Fishers and the northeast suburbs of Indianapolis. The project includes a significant expansion of the IU Health Fishers hospital campus and services, and the addition of offsite, outpatient access to primary care and specialists.

Riley Children’s emergency care at IU Health Fishers includes pediatric nurses and providers supported by a team of social workers, respiratory therapists, radiologists, and general emergency medicine physicians. Child Life Specialists are available to help ease stress and anxiety for both children and families in the emergency setting.

The facility offers coordinated access to nationally ranked specialized care if a child needs to follow up with a pediatric specialist, and seamless transfers to other Riley Children’s hospital locations if a higher level of care is needed.
