If your child requires care for up to 48 hours after receiving pediatric emergency care at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, we have a Pediatric Short Stay Unit. It is the only observation unit of its kind in the region for children from birth to the age of 21. Some conditions appropriate for inpatient observation include:

• Asthma, pneumonia, and other breathing conditions
• Dehydration
• Newborn jaundice
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin infections

In collaboration with Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital, we can also provide your family with specialty and follow up care for all pediatric health issues.
