Advocate Children’s Hospital recognized for pediatric emergency care

Advocate Children’s Hospital’s pediatric emergency department (ED) in Oak Lawn was recently awarded the Lantern Award from the Emergency Nurses Association for demonstrating excellence in emergency care.

“The emergency department is often the front-door to care at our hospital, and this award highlights the commitment and compassion of our pediatric emergency nurses and all of the ED teammates who care for our patients and their families every day,” said Michelle Tracy, chief nursing officer at Advocate Children’s Hospital. “We’re honored to receive this recognition.”

The Lantern Award is awarded for three years to hospitals whose emergency department teammates incorporate evidence-based practice and innovation into their care. The award serves as a symbol of a commitment to excellent, highly skilled emergency care. This is the hospital’s second time receiving this recognition.
