Holtz Children's Hospital unveiled a major renovation of its emergency room creating a more family-friendly, medically efficient environment. Thanks to a substantial donation made through the Jackson Memorial Foundation by Harvey and Roberta Chaplin, the emergency room has a new brighter look which includes a reconfigured layout in the waiting area that maximizes space, new furnishings in patient rooms and waiting areas, new stretchers for patients, and a new nurse's station area which provides easier access to patients. The emergency room has been officially dedicated and named the Chaplin Family Pediatric Emergency Room.
