Many Montana parents face a hard choice on cold, snowy nights when they are caring for a sick child. As the baby’s fever rises, snow continues to pile up in the driveway and time is ticking to decide whether or not to venture outside.
When parents aren’t sure if they need to drive to the emergency room, they can call Montana Pediatrics care line and be connected with a pediatrician via a telehealth call.
Sarah Rolfing has reached out to Montana Pediatrics twice for her young son. Both times she was connected to a provider within 15 minutes, precious time saved when dealing with a sick child who may need a trip to the ER.
