Families in North Central San Antonio have a new option for pediatric emergency care now that CHRISTUS Children’s has opened an emergency center at Alon Town Centre. The facility sits at 11503 Northwest Military Highway, Suite 122, and gives families in the area another option for specialized emergency treatment close to home.
According to KABB, the center is open 24/7 and includes 10 treatment rooms, a full laboratory, and advanced imaging capabilities, including X-ray, CT and ultrasound. The CHRISTUS Children’s location page confirms the emergency room is open around the clock for infants, children and teens, and notes that the Alon facility operates as an outpatient department of CHRISTUS Children’s.
Who the Alon Emergency Center Actually Treats
The Alon Emergency Center serves infants, children and teens.
What is clear is that the center is staffed by pediatric-trained clinicians, per the same account from the station, and that CHRISTUS Children’s has positioned the Alon location as the newest addition to its network of dedicated pediatric emergency centers. Those seeking more details or next steps can call the facility directly at (210) 853-1500, according to the CHRISTUS location page.
More Specialty Care Planned for the Campus
CHRISTUS Children’s says cardiology, neurology and endocrinology services are planned for the future at the Alon campus, though no timeline for those additions has been disclosed. The expansion fits a broader pattern for the health system, which has steadily built out pediatric-specific emergency care across San Antonio over the past decade.
CHRISTUS Children’s opened its Westover Hills Emergency Department in 2015, bringing pediatric-specific emergency care to what was then described as the fastest-growing area of San Antonio, according to the CHRISTUS Children’s Foundation. The system followed that with its Stone Oak Emergency Center in 2018, per the same foundation account, making Alon the latest stop in that expansion effort.
