Referrals

Emergency Referrals
Cleveland Clinic pediatricians are available 24 hours a day to provide care for your patients requiring hospitalization.

To refer a patient for immediate hospitalization, call 866/CCF-TOTS (223-8687) 24 hours a day, and request transfer assistance. The transfer coordinator will contact a staff pediatrician or specialist who will arrange for hospitalization and initiate appropriate evaluation and care upon the patient's arrival.

To arrange for non-critical, emergent transport to our facility via The Children's Hospital ambulance, call 216/797-4000. A PALS-certified medical team staffs the ambulance.
