Canada's ECHO Research, along with the Alberta Research Centre for Health Evidence (ARCHE) and Translating Emergency Knowledge for Kids (TREKK), have developed a new resource to help families navigate the Emergency Department (ED).
Visiting the ED with a child can be scary and overwhelming, especially when

COVID-19, and specific information related to the COVID-19 pandemic has
been included in this infographic.
