Urgent Care and After-Hours Services

As any parent knows, injuries, fevers and the flu don't take evenings and weekends off. At Children's Hospital Colorado, our pediatric urgent care providers treat illnesses and injuries that require medical attention but are not life threatening. Here, your child will be seen by a pediatric healthcare provider who can diagnose and treat them quicker than a typical urgent care facility. This helps your kid get home and feel better, faster.
