Pediatric Transport Services
J
oe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital offers the largest and most diverse group of
board-certified pediatric specialists in the region, qualifying us to treat a wide
variety of illnesses and injuries. We also provide the transport services to help
children from near and far access the pediatric services and care they need.
Transferring Your Child
Specialty Care and Support
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
The PICU at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital features advanced monitoring equipment and a
dedicated medical team of board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric intensivists to provide
24-hour in-house medical care.
Ground Transport
Hospitalist Program
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital has a dedicated ambulance for prompt ground transport of children
from local hospitals. The transport team includes a pediatric intensive care nurse, a pediatric respiratory
therapist and a pediatric intensive care physician, if necessary. There is
also a neonatal transport team. These specialists provide high-quality
medical care on the way to the hospital, while staying in constant
contact with hospital-based physicians to help facilitate seamless care
upon arrival. The mobile intensive care unit ambulance can transport
up to two patients, plus family members and the medical team.
Mobile extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO) can be
provided for patients with critical cardiopulmonary conditions.
Like the leading children’s hospitals across the nation, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital utilizes
hospitalists. These in-house, board-certified pediatricians are available 24 hours a day for children
transferred to our facility. They manage the care of young patients and communicate regularly with
the family and primary care physician regarding specific services, discharge and follow-up care.
Child Life Program
Air Transport
Conine Clubhouse
Child life specialists strive to make hospitalization as positive and stress-free as possible for young
patients and their families. They offer emotional and developmental support, medical play and
special activities at bedside. In addition, through our partnership with Broward County Public
Schools, a teacher is available to assist hospitalized children with their schoolwork.
Air medical transport services via a fully equipped Learjet are available for emergency transport of
severely ill or injured children. This critical care module with wings has flown to locations throughout
Florida, the Caribbean and abroad to transport children under the care of a specially trained, in-flight
medical team. ECMO can be provided during fixed-wing jet transport.
Conveniently located on the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital campus, Conine Clubhouse is a
special home away from home for families of hospitalized children. Among its numerous amenities
are 23 beautifully decorated rooms (including four suites for larger families) with private bathrooms
and cable TV, a communal living room, a playroom, a laundry room, and a chapel.
To assist in the rapid transport of critically ill or injured children to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital,
helicopter transport is available. A highly qualified medical team specially trained in transport medicine
and in-flight physiology provides full medical attention during the transport process.
Conine Clubhouse is supported through funding by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation.
Accommodations are free of charge and based on availability.
Whenever possible, parents are encouraged to accompany the child during ground or air transport.
Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital is a patient- and family-centered care facility that embraces
a collaborative approach among patients, families, physicians, nurses and other healthcare
professionals.
