Cedars-Sinai is expanding virtual health care for children and Spanish speakers through its mobile app Cedars-Sinai Connect, an online option that allows patients to quickly access health care professionals for acute, chronic and preventive care.

Children aged 3-17 can now access Cedars-Sinai health care providers for urgent issues, including cough, cold, flu or rash. Families can choose on-demand visits 24 hours a day or scheduled visits from 7 a.m.-9 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekends for their sick child. Spanish-speaking patients ages 3 and older can now choose a Spanish app experience. Spanish-speaking health care providers are available for scheduled visits 7 a.m.-9 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekends. For information, visit csconnect.cedars-sinai.org.
