after-hours pediatric urgent care option in Tampa

Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital Brings After-Hours Pediatric Urgent Care to Tampa

By Last Updated

Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital will soon offer a new service — an after-hours pediatric urgent care at the hospital’s outpatient care location in Tampa. The service is expected to open in early 2025, on weekday evenings, weekends and holidays.

Sickness or injury can happen at any time and sometimes kids need care outside of their pediatrician’s normal office hours. We’re here to provide your family the care that’s needed to get your child back to their normal activities.
