Washington University Children’s After Hours provides convenient medical care for your child’s illnesses and injuries by specially-trained pediatric nurse practitioners. After Hours is a kid-focused and faster alternative to ERs for mild illnesses when your pediatrician’s office is closed, for the same copay as you'd pay at the pediatrician's office.

Patients will be seen in order of arrival time unless emergency care is required. However, you may schedule your arrival time online to reduce your wait and help us prepare for your visit. The online tool is available beginning 2 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends.
