Emergencies

For extreme emergencies or if your child is in immediate danger call 911 or, if you can do so safely, take your child to the Manning Family Children’s Emergency room.

After Hours

We are always on call for urgent matters. If you need to talk to a doctor outside of office hours please call 504-897-0744 or 1-833-745-3117. One of our doctors will call you back within 60 minutes. You must leave a 24 hour pharmacy phone number when prompted so that the physician may call in any necessary prescriptions.

Ingestions/ Poisonings

Immediately call the Poison Hotline 1-800-222-1222. The Poison Control Center maintains an up-to-date and comprehensive database to help manage ingestions of medicines or other substances. We are available to help if needed, but the Poison Control Center experts are your primary resource.

Disaster/Evacuation

If a disaster or evacuation compromises communication with our physicians, Manning Family Children’s is the most reliable resource to help with emergency care.
