Emergency Medicine

If your child requires immediate medical attention, visit the Emergency Department as soon as possible. If your child is unable to travel, call 911 immediately.

In 1999, St. John's, Memorial Medical Center and SIU School of Medicine joined forces to establish the Southern Illinois Trauma Center (SITC). The SITC is a Level 1 Trauma Center - meaning it is designated to care for patients who are at risk of losing life or limb. The Level 1 designation rotates annually between the two hospitals, however children 12 years and under who have suffered a trauma are always brought to
St. John's Children's Hospital.

Dr. David Peterson serves as a liason between the department and the emergency room and is committed to excellent pediatric emergency care. Dr. Linda Nordemonn is the Director of the Emergency Department.
