Pediatric Intensive Care Services Offered at Central DuPage Hospital

If intensive care is necessary, your child can be transferred to the Central DuPage Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, staffed by Lurie Children's pediatric critical care specialists.

Less Critical Emergency Needs

Fortunately, many emergencies don't need the high level of care available through the Emergency Department. Less critical emergencies, such as a sore throat, earache or a sprain, can be treated at one of our many Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care Centers.
