Wolfson Children’s ER and Porter Family Trauma Center earn Emergency Nurses Association Award
Minutes matter when a child’s life is on the line. The care provided immediately following a serious injury or onset of illness can mean the difference between a lifetime of health or a catastrophic outcome.
To recognize the world-class, life-saving care provided at Wolfson Children’s Hospital of Jacksonville, the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) selected the Wolfson Children’s Emergency and Porter Family Trauma Center as one of only 33 emergency departments (EDs) nationwide to receive the prestigious Lantern Award. Just seven children’s hospitals in the country received this prestigious emergency nursing honor.
Anthony Pohlgeers, MD, chief of Pediatric Emergency Medicine for Wolfson Children’s Hospital of Jacksonville, said, “The nurses in the Emergency and Trauma Center provide both medical and emotional support for not only the patients, but the parents, as well. This national recognition is confirmation of what I have always known: this team is special, and we are lucky to have them here in Jacksonville.”
“The Wolfson Children’s Emergency and Porter Family Trauma Center team is specially trained to treat the most critically ill and injured children in the region,” said Michael D. Aubin, FACHE, president of Wolfson Children’s Hospital. “We hope parents will rest assured knowing that this expert pediatric team is ready and waiting, should their child ever need them.”
