Urgent Care
20300 E. Valley View Parkway, Independence, MO 64057
Children's Mercy East Urgent Care is designed to complement
the care provided by your child's primary care doctor. It is
staffed by board-certified general pediatricians
and pediatric nurse practitioners. It offers some services not
always available in a doctor's office, including plain film X-ray
and limited laboratory testing.
If your child is sick, it may be difficult to decide if you need
to go to the emergency room or an urgent care center. Your child's
doctor can help you make the decision for the best place to take
care of your child.
Children with serious or life-threatening injuries or illnesses
should be taken directly to an emergency room. Children's Mercy
offers emergency services at Children's Mercy Hospital, 2401
Gillham Road, Kansas City, Mo., and at Children's Mercy South, 5808
W. 110th St., Overland Park, Kan. Both are open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
Children's Mercy East Urgent Care provides care for children
with minor injuries or illnesses that are not considered life
threatening, but require prompt attention. Our services are a
complement to the services provided by your primary care
physician.
