We make ourselves available to keep your children at their best. If your child is experiencing sick symptoms outside of typical office hours, consider utilizing our after-hours services below.

Children’s Nurse Triage and Advice Line

If you have a concern about your child’s health, we encourage you to contact our office. The on-duty nurse can provide medical advice and connect you with a pediatrician should you need further assistance. The helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

UPMC Children’s Express Care

By visiting UPMC Children’s Express Care, our after-hours clinic, your child will receive the same specialized pediatric care you’ve come to expect from your UPMC CCP pediatrician. Open conveniently on evenings and weekends, your child can receive care for minor injuries and illnesses when your pediatrician’s office is closed for the day. Learn more about our services or find a location near you.

In the case of a serious emergency, call 911 or go to the emergency room.

Once you have delivered your baby, please tell the hospital staff which UPMC Children’s Community Pediatrics’ office you have chosen for your baby’s care. Depending upon the hospital, either a member of the UPMC CCP care team or a hospital-based pediatrician will examine your baby before they leave the hospital.

Remember to call your CCP office before leaving the hospital to schedule your baby’s first check-up with us. We will see your baby in our office as soon as necessary after hospital discharge, typically within two to three days.

Our office is accepting new patients. Whether you’re joining us from another pediatric office, or you are welcoming a newborn into the world, our practice is always happy to make your child a part of the UPMC Children’s Community Pediatrics network. Call 717-533-7850 to receive more information about how to transition your child to the practice.

Pennsylvania law requires all children under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult for each CCP office visit. Adults other than the patient’s biological parent or legal guardian will need to complete a Medical Consent Authorization form prior to the appointment. Some exceptions may apply. Please contact our office should you have any questions.

Our billing is centralized through our Administrative office in Wexford, Pa. Should you have specific questions regarding your bill, please call 1-888-857-7646 or email your questions to CCPBilling@chp.edu.
