Under the Weather
Affordable day care for your sick child
When you're a parent, your children come first, but sometimes minor
illnesses or injuries happen at inconvenient times, such as when you have to be
at work. The Under The Weather program can help.
This service is located within Alegent Health Pediatric Place at Bergan Mercy
Medical Center. The trained staff of Pediatic Place can provide loving
care for your sick child when you can't.
Care is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for
children 8 weeks through 12 years old. The price is $4 per hour, with
snacks provided. Lunch is $2.25, or you may bring your child's
lunch. There is a discount for Alegent Health employees. Requests
for care can be made by calling 402-398-6300. Press #1

Weather.

- All supplies (medication, diapers, bottles, clothing,
etc) are furnished by the parent, and should be labeled with the child's name
