Division physicians provide emergency care at our newly built 65 bed state-of-the-art ED at our level 1 trauma center, our 20-bed community ED and expanding network of hospital and neighborhood-based urgent cares throughout the region. As the sole pediatric acute care facility in our area, we serve a diverse population of over 2 million people with over 170,000 encounters annually.
Academically, the division anchors the PECARN HOMERUN node as a research center and has multiple international collaborations. The research mission is vibrant with key focus areas including brain and behavior, infection and inflammation, and the science of everyday care (with expertise in care standardization, informatics, resuscitation science, pre-hospital care and other key areas). The division received ~$6 million in extramural grant funding in the most recent fiscal year and division faculty and staff physicians publish over ~150 manuscripts annually.
The Division is supported by a robust infrastructure that includes a large team of research coordinators, data analysts, and faculty methodologists.
