  • If your child has a fever or cough and has traveled recently, please call your primary care provider to determine the best plan for care.
  • If you are advised to seek care at a Children’s Mercy Urgent Care location for COVID-19 concerns, please call prior to coming in. Please note: we are unable to conduct testing for COVID-19 at Children's Mercy Urgent Care locations.
  • If your child is experiencing breathing problems or is in distress, please call 911.
