Children's Emergency Services
Don't take your child to an adult focused emergency center when you
have the choice!
Covenant Children’s offers the region’s only dedicated emergency
center for children. The Emergency Center is open 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, and is staffed by physicians and registered nurses specially
trained in pediatric emergency care. Our emergency center consists of
12 rooms and 2 trauma bays. We were the first Level II Pediatric Trauma
Center in Texas and we remain the longest running Pediatric Trauma Center
in Lubbock.
When compared to adult emergency centers and adult emergency centers also

your child is seen by a provider and discharged.

Obstetric Emergency Department
Covenant wants mothers who are experiencing complications to be seen right
away by an in-house, board-certified OB/GYN, who can provide care until
the patient's own doctor can evaluate the mother and baby’s
condition. Our hospitalist physicians work with your primary OB/GYN provider
to give immediate care and help make decisions about hospital admission
or discharge. To learn about the Obstetric ED please
