New Emergency Room Open
Summerlin Hospital celebrated the completion of its Emergency Room (ER) and Pediatric ER expansion on December 6 with a pediatric community health fair and tours of the newly completed ER.

The new ER more than doubles the size of the hospital's previous ER and includes private patient care areas, integrated (in-ER) imaging suites, a new approach to managing chest pain patients and an all new Pediatric ER, complete with a spaceship pattern in the floor and twinkling star lights in the ceiling.

"The ER expansion was uniquely designed to not only help expedite care, but to provide patients with a more comfortable and private environment to receive care," says Robert Freymuller, CEO/Managing Director at Summerlin Hospital.
