NightLight Pediatric Urgent Care Information

Everything You Need to Know About NightLight

NightLight Pediatric Urgent Care mission is to provide quality, affordable, compassionate service for infants, children and adolescents. NightLight exists to be the first choice provider for pediatric urgent care when the primary pediatrician is not available. NightLight improves quality of healthcare through its market-leading continuum of care by increasing coordination with the primary care physician by caring for their patients on an after-hours basis. This reduces the cost of providing such health care through an emergency room or other forms of urgent care.

Services

NightLight is exclusively pediatric focused in its care and services. NightLight works directly with the child’s pediatrician, and is not a competitor nor a replacement, differentiating it from other urgent care practices. By purposefully not providing well-child checks or vaccinations and maintaining their commitment to hours of operation that do not overlap with primary physician offices, NightLight truly partners with the primary care provider in the community and strongly supports the medical home model.

When parents visit NightLight they know their child will be seen by a pediatric-trained practitioner. Always having a pediatric-trained physician on duty, and PCP call in priority are other important and key differences that make NightLight stand out from its competition. NightLight services are offered after hours, on weekends, and evenings when the primary care physician’s office is closed. Once the child is seen at NightLight a summary report of the visit is provided back to the pediatrician as part of the coordination of care with the primary care physician. Services include x-rays, wound care and repair, splinting, management of mild to moderate dehydration, fever management and education, breathing treatments, prescriptions plus treatment and education, detailed coordination of care, and wart removal.
