(HealthDay News) -- When young children are in your care, it's
important to have a list of emergency phone numbers within easy
reach.
The Nemours Foundation says these numbers should be on every
caregiver's emergency list:
- The number for poison control -- 1-800-222-1222.
- The number for ambulance, police or fire -- 911.
- The number for the child's doctor.
- Numbers for the child's parents, including work and cell
phones.
