Florida Hospital is ex-cited to announce

there’s a new, specializedemergency department de-signed exclusively for chil-dren in East Orlando.Florida Hospital East Orlando has begun caringfor its youngest patients ina new emergency centerstaffed by pediatric specialists who are dedi-cated to meeting the uniqueneeds of children and theirfamilies.Open 24 hours a day and

seven days a week, the pe-diatric emergency centerhas 12 private rooms, andwill offer access to highlyspecialized pediatric physi-cians via telemedicine.Florida Hospital leaders

opened the clinic to meet

the needs of the young —and growing — communi-ties in east Orange County,such as Waterford Lakes,Avalon Park and Stoney-brook East.“Our hospital saw more

than 15,000 pediatric pa-tients last year,” said MikeThompson, administratorand CEO of Florida HospitalEast Orlando. “With thecommunity continuing togrow, so does its need for achild-centric emergencycenter close to home.”From ocean murals on

the walls to pink fish on thefloors, the colorful, aquatictheme of the unit and eachof the rooms are designedto be soothing for children.“The comforting environ-

ment at Florida Hospital

East Orlando’s pediatric EDwas designed from theground up to be child-friendly, with playfullythemed rooms and a teamof physicians and nursesspecially trained in pediatriccare,” Thompson said. But there are more than

aesthetic differences in thechildren’s emergency cen-ter, which is a result of acollaboration with FloridaHospital for Children. Theclinical team includes

board-certified emergencyphysicians, nurses speciallytrained in pediatric care,and a dedicated children’stransport team. Child lifespecialists, a service uniqueto Florida Hospital for Chil-dren, help ensure eachchild’s emotional, develop-mental and psychosocialneeds are being met usinga variety of methods includ-ing games and arts andcrafts.“By offering a kid-friendly

environment, acomprehensiveand specialized team, andservices catered to childrenand their family members,the pediatric emergencycenter at Florida HospitalEast Orlando will decreasestress and anxiety for pa-tients, while offering lead-ing-edge care,” said Dr.Dennis Hernández, medicaldirector of pediatric emer-gency services at FloridaHospital.
