- Emergency Care is is for more serious injuries/conditions and for severe or life-threatening conditions, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injuries, or signs of a stroke.
Pikeville Medical Center’s (PMC) Emergency Department (ED) is seeing an increasing number of pediatric patients. This growing group prompted PMC to begin the certification process in November 2019 to become “Pediatric Ready” by the Kentucky Emergency Medical Services for Children (KYEMSC) Program.
Being recognized as “Pediatric Ready” demonstrates PMC’s commitment to enhancing emergency care services for children in our region.
