font-larger alternate"> <p>When your child is facing a medical emergency, there's no substitute for a specialty children’s hospital. Young patients require distinct tests and equipment for their small bodies. Kids are at greater risk for serious breathing problems, less tolerant of blood loss, and more vulnerable to head injury than adults are – and the younger the child, the smaller the margin for error.</p> <p>That's where UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals makes all the difference. The pediatric <strong>Emergency Departments </strong>at our San Francisco and Oakland locations are focused exclusively on kids, with a staff of doctors and nurses trained in pediatric emergency medicine who are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our patients also have access to a full-service suite of care with more than 150 top-ranked pediatric specialists. Critical medical and surgical divisions are on call at all times for the more intensive care.</p> <p>Our <strong>Oakland ED</strong> is certified as a level 1 trauma center by the American College of Surgeons and is the only state-designated Pediatric Critical Care Center in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. This distinction marks us as a center of excellence in all areas of pediatric care, from emergency care and intensive care through rehabilitation services.</p> <p>Our Oakland location also has a special five-bed asthma care unit for patients to receive asthma treatment and education. For all these reasons and more, we're the leading pediatric emergency service provider in Northern California.</p> <p><strong>NOTE: If you think your child may be experiencing a life-threatening or severe condition, immediately call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency room.</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="component content container"> <div class="component-content">
