The Pediatric Place is a pediatric urgent care facility in The Bahamas, described as the first of its kind in the country. It provides an alternative to the Emergency Department for children with acute illnesses or injuries that are not life- or limb-threatening, including needs that arise outside a primary care pediatrician’s normal office hours. The practice also offers preventative annual physicals and well-child visits, and its care can supplement a child’s ongoing primary care.

The clinic’s board-certified pediatricians work alongside nurses and medical physician assistants to deliver clinical care in a child-friendly environment. Its mission is to promote children’s health and well-being through accessible, high-quality care, with costs and wait times typically lower than those of an Emergency Department. When a child needs emergency services, the team can provide stabilization and arrange transfer to an appropriate tertiary care facility, facilitating hospital admission when necessary. The Pediatric Place is located at 20 Tedder Street in Palmdale and can be reached by phone or email for inquiries and patient registration.
