LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - A separate emergency center for pediatric patients is set to open in about a month within the UMC Health System in Lubbock. The $1.9 million facility is made possible by the Childrenâs Miracle Network and its donors.
âOur vision for the childrenâs ER is that we do want every family to be very comfortable, to make sure those children from start to finish feel that this is a space for them and is specific for children,â Dr. Brian Payne, Chief Medical Officer of UMC Childrenâs Hospital said. âFrom the hanging mobiles in the ceiling to the clouds on the walls, everything is supposed to be very pediatric friendly and inviting to them as they come to this ER.â
