October 28 2019 – Northwest Medical Center is excited to announce that it has expanded its Pediatric Emergency Room.

Growing to meet the needs of the community, the Pediatric ER has expanded from a 5-bed pediatric area to a dedicated and secure 12-bed unit, providing special care to the pediatric population. 

 

Caring for 12,000 pediatric patients annually, this much needed expansion will allow Northwest Medical Center to serve even more of the communities’ tiniest patients.

What does this mean for the Northern Broward County corridor?  It means that fast, experienced, quality pediatric care is right around the corner 24/7. 

“The expansion is much needed for our community and allows our patients to have pediatric care close to home,” said Ann Marie Font, MD, Pediatric Medical Director at Northwest Medical Center.

Parents can rest assured knowing that Northwest Medical Center has Pediatricians on-site 24/7, as well as a dedicated Pediatric Unit, in the event an inpatient admission is necessary.

 

Continuing to reinvest in the community, Northwest Medical Center has completed the expansion of its brand-new patient tower, offering Maternity and Medical/Surgical services and is looking forward to expanding its Level III NICU in 2020.
