CHRISTUS Children’s announced it is expanding access to specialized pediatric emergency services with the newly transformed facility at 11503 NW Military Hwy., Ste. 122. The emergency center provides care exclusively for pediatric patients, from newborns to teens, in a setting designed specifically for children. The Alon location is the newest addition to CHRISTUS Children’s network of dedicated pediatric emergency centers, which includes CHRISTUS Children’s Emergency Center – Westover Hills and CHRISTUS Children’s Emergency Center – Stone Oak. “Children have unique medical needs, especially during an emergency,” said Cris Daskevich, CEO of CHRISTUS Children’s. “The CHRISTUS Children’s Emergency Center at Alon allows us to bring the pediatric expertise, resources and compassionate care families have come to trust from CHRISTUS Children’s to even more communities across San Antonio.” The emergency center includes 10 treatment rooms, a full laboratory and advanced imaging capabilities, including X-ray, CT and ultrasound. CHRISTUS Children’s said the center is staffed by pediatric-trained clinicians. The expansion also builds on existing services at Alon, where CHRISTUS Children’s primary care providers have served families for more than a decade. The Alon campus also includes a multispecialty clinic offering pediatric general surgery, gastroenterology, adolescent bariatric care and urology. CHRISTUS Children’s said cardiology, neurology and endocrinology services are planned for the future. “Children often experience illness and injury differently than adults, and their conditions can change rapidly,” Daskevich said. “Having pediatric-trained clinicians, specialized equipment and immediate access to pediatric experts can make a meaningful difference in a child’s care experience.” Through its affiliation with CHRISTUS Children’s, the emergency center will offer around-the-clock access to a comprehensive network of pediatric specialists, according to the hospital. CHRISTUS Children’s, part of CHRISTUS Health, is a faith-based, not-for-profit hospital that has served the South Texas community since 1869. The hospital describes itself as San Antonio’s first and only freestanding hospital solely dedicated to the care of children and expectant women. CHRISTUS Children’s said its 250 pediatric and maternal specialists are affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine.
