Stagecoach Kids
Pediatric concierge emergency response
The right care. Right when you need it. Right where your child feels safest.
Picture this
It's 2 a.m. Your daughter wakes up with a barking cough and that tight, whistling breath. You know it's croup. You know she needs medicine.
Your spouse is away on a work trip. Your son is finally asleep down the hall. You can't load two kids into the car and sit in an emergency room until sunrise — and calling 911 for a lights-and- sirens ambulance feels like far too much.
So you sit on the bathroom floor with the shower running, and you wait.
Until Stagecoach.
One call. A pediatric-trained team at your door, medication in hand, a pediatric emergency physician on the line. Your daughter is treated in her own bed. Your son never wakes up. And in the morning, your pediatrician has the full report.
What that night looks like now
- You call us — no triage maze, no hold music
- A pediatric emergency physician guides care from the first minute
- Our team comes to you, day or night
- Treatment at home when it's safe; a fast path to the right ER when it isn't
- Your pediatrician gets the handoff
The pediatric gap
130,000
Children live in DC
When the pediatrician's office is full, closed, or the answer is "go get seen," families are left with 911 and the emergency room. No pediatric urgent care in the city is open overnight — nothing at all after 10 p.m. We fill the space in between, at any hour.
How it works
01
You call
A real person answers, day or night. No phone tree, no waiting for a callback.
02
We come to you
A clinician arrives at your home and assesses your child where they are most comfortable — in their own bed.
03
We stay with it
Treatment at home when it is safe, transport when it is not, and a note back to your pediatrician either way.
Working with your pediatrician
An extension of your pediatrician — between their office and the ER
Alongside, in consultation
We work alongside your pediatrician in consultation — extending their office and after-hours answering service into your home, not replacing them or starting your child's story over.
Under our medical direction
Care in the field is delivered under the medical direction of our own pediatric and pediatric ER physicians and ER-trained nurses.
Notes back to their doctor
Everything we find, treat and recommend goes back to your pediatrician so the follow-up visit picks up right where we left off.
