Nine-bed Pediatric Emergency Department
Charleston, SC - On Monday, January 12, 2003, a new Pediatric Emergency Department opened at the Medical University of South Carolina.
The facility's entrance is at Jonathan Lucas Street next to the Clinical Sciences Building.
As of that date, it was South Carolina's only full-service pediatric emergency department. The facility is staffed by physicians
specially trained in pediatric emergency medicine and nurses certified in pediatric life support. The pediatric emergency team has
at its immediate disposal in-house experts in every pediatric subspecialty.
In addition to providing the highest level medical care for children coming into the Pediatric Emergency Department, we are concerned
with the psychosocial needs of our patients. We have child-life specialists on staff to ease the fears of children, and the ambiance
of the facility is specially designed for the physical and emotional comfort of the children.
The facility has nine private rooms. Each room has a theme such as a jungle theme or a car theme, with artwork reflecting the theme.
A TV, VCR and DVD are in each room.
