The emergency department at Lee Memorial Hospital has been recognized for continually providing high-quality care in a safe environment. This is the first time the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) has awarded the hospital with the Lantern Award, which recognizes emergency departments that go above and beyond in leadership, practice, education, advocacy, and research.
Lee Memorial Hospital’s emergency department is one of a record 94 emergency departments across the United States that met the award criteria for the Lantern Award designation this year. The Lantern Award is a visible symbol of an emergency department’s commitment to quality, safety, a healthy work environment and innovation in nursing practice and emergency care.
