In the past, children were treated in curtained-off hospital emergency areas along with adult patients. One of CDF’s earliest projects was to help fund and equip separate dedicated treatment areas and rooms for children in hospital emergency rooms.
Special pediatric treatment rooms provide a positive child-centered experience which helps to reduce the stress and anxiety that children commonly experience in an emergency department. In these dedicated treatment areas, specialized pediatric medical equipment is readily accessible and the rooms are often furnished and decorated in a child-friendly manner.
