What Patients and Families Should Know
As part of this initiative, patients ages 8 and above in our Emergency Department, Urgent Care Centers
and inpatient units, are being screened for suicidal ideation. Parents and clinicians will be made aware when
children report such thought patterns. Additional follow through and recommendations will be made for as appropriate
to children's care needs.

Lifeline at 988.
