Camden Clark’s pediatric ready Emergency Department is equipped with a designated pediatric waiting area and exam rooms for children and their families and is connected to our state-of-the-art facility and WVU Medicine Children’s.

- Severe allergic reactions
- Broken bones and dislocated joints
- High or persistent fevers
- Seizures
