AFTER HOURS CARE
If you have questions after hours, many of them will be answered on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Symptom Checker or the Dosing Charts. If these pages do not completely answer your question, consider calling our office (785-842-4477), where you will be directed to the On-Call Physician or, in some instances, the Children’s Mercy Hospital Nurse Triage line. The CMH triage nurses are pediatric nurses with extensive training who will help answer your questions, or direct you to an after hours provider, should your child require one immediately.
