Patients wait to be screened for H1N1. From mid-September through October 2009, 11,221 patients came to the Seay Emergency Department with flu-like symptoms and 4,182 patients were diagnosed with the flu.
On June 18, 2009, Children's Medical Center was told by the editors at U.S.News & World Report that the hospital had been named to the magazine's Best Children's Hospitals 2009 Honor Roll, distinguishing Children's as one of America's Top 10 pediatric centers.
Children's earned the spot not because of its brilliance in any one specialty or discipline, though they certainly exist. Instead, it was the hospital's consistent level of excellence across 10 different specialties that garnered the elite ranking.
Just 24 hours at Children's Medical Center produces thousands of awe-inspiring moments. As captured by our award-winning photographers in this book — One Day. Typical. Amazing. — a regular day within our walls is hardly that. Every day at Children's brings extraordinary hope for families and an opportunity for us all to make a meaningful difference in the life of a child.
We invite you, our friends and family, for a closer look at the compassionate care that takes place here every day.
The Nursing Division annual report reflects not only the many accomplishments of nurses working at Children's Medical Center and within the community but, more importantly, the positive patient care outcomes that result from their exemplary professional practice and interdisciplinary teamwork.
