West Boca Medical Center’s pediatric emergency department was selected by South Florida Parenting’s readers for a Kids Crown Award 2010.

Instead of sitting in a crowded waiting room surrounded by adult patients, West Boca Medical Center has a separate waiting area just for kids. In fact, it’s West Boca Medical Center’s goal for a health care professional to see each child in 30 minutes or less. The pediatric emergency room even treats newborns up to children 18 years of age. Doctors and nurses from the pediatric emergency medicine department work closely with the emergency trauma department to stabilize patients and deliver the individualized care that they need, when they need it the most.
