Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP)
Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC) is a designated Emergency
Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP).
This means that we have equipment specially designed for pediatric patients
and all our staff are trained to meet the needs of children of all ages.
We have physicians and nurses who are trained and nationally certified
in both pediatric emergency medicine and advanced life support. Because
children are different from adults, children have a different spectrum
of diseases, and their smaller bodies require specialized medical procedures
and equipment that consider their size and stage of development. Pediatric
advocates feel that children in need of medical care do better when taken
care of by physicians and nurses who are trained to attend to both a child's
physical and emotional needs.
