❄️ WINTER WEATHER UPDATE ❄️
Dayton Children's urgent cares and Kids Express locations will be closed the remainder of today, December 23. Our emergency rooms will always remain open should you need immediate care for your child!

Do the kids have a cough? Try this at-home remedy recommended by our very own Dr. Ziemnik!

👉🏻 Did you know we treat patients up to age 18?

3 reasons Kids Express is great for your busy teenager:
1. For a lot of conditions, they won’t even have to leave home. You can schedule a video visit and do it from your phone (which is how they prefer to communicate anyway, right?)
2. If you do come in person, your visit will be super quick so they can get on with their busy lives (hello homework, sports, theatre, etc.)
3. We aren’t located in a big hospital so we are easy to get to and from.

As a reminder, our Kids Express locations are closed tomorrow for the Thanksgiving holiday, but will be back open for regular operating hours on Friday. We hope your family has a safe and wonderful day! 🦃

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We think so too!

It's been a crazy last month with all the sick kiddo's across the region, and we have been working our hardest to treat everyone we can! Everyone's kindness and patience has been so appreciated.

We are thankful to be an option for kids to receive great care at any of our 4 locations and through our video visits.

As a parent, it’s easy to feel helpless when your kiddo isn’t feeling well. 🤒 We get it! The most common symptoms we’re seeing at our care sites are complaints of fever and cough. Save and share these graphics below that can help you decide when to seek care for either of these conditions.

If your child is experiencing these symptoms, but doing relatively well, there are a few ways to provide “comfort care” at home to get them back on their feet. Read our full blog linked below to check out these "comfort care" at home tips and learn where to seek care for your little one when you do need it.

Have you tried a Kids Express video visit for your sick kids yet?

Dayton Children's Hospital is experiencing exceptionally high numbers of families coming to the hospital's emergency departments, urgent cares and Kids Express locations, due to an increase in RSV and other respiratory viruses. These large numbers of children seeking care means there may be a long wait time to be seen.

Video visits are great way to get seen at Kids Express quickly! Learn more about video visits at Kids Express here: https://www.childrensdayton.org/locations/kids-express-video-visits

You heard it here first - Kristen and Mercedes at our Mason location are pretty awesome! 🎉 🎉

💬 Lauren's full Google review: "I am a huge proponent of recognizing exceptional service. Kids Express Urgent Care in Mason went above and beyond today. The NP Kristen was wonderful and made us feel like her only patient (despite other rooms being occupied as well). She was so warm and caring towards our sick 15 month old (truly felt like a family member with her care and concern) and did not make us feel like we were being rushed in and out. When the wrong prescription was filled by CVS in Maineville, she called it to another location at 6pm on a Sunday so we could have it for tonight. Mercedes at the front desk was so patient and understanding as I called the location multiple times. Kristen and Mercedes, Kids Express is lucky to have you and I cannot thank you enough for how much care you put into your work. Highly recommend!"

We do care! We really do!

Lindsay's full Google review for our Mason location: "Kids Express is the best! They always promptly get you in and out and answer all of your questions. The employees are fantastic with all of my kids ages 5 mo -5 years! They seem to genuinely care about the health and well being of your children. We have popped in 4/5 times in the last 6 months and are so happy with the services they provide. Last fall we had a hard time getting our kids flu shots and Kids Express had them with no wait time! If you are looking for great care for your child I could not recommend them more!"

If you're headed to Kids Express, don't forget your mask! All staff, parents and patients over the age of 2 are asked to wear a mask. Thanks for doing your part to keep all of us safe!
