The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileCurrently under construction and slated to open later this year, the Hersh Childrens Center at Overlook will consolidate pediatric emergency and inpatient services to better coordinate care with the same clinical team.
Kids are at a particularly sensitive juncture in their receipt of emergency medical care, says Dr. Pamela Love, director of the pediatric emergency department. We want to make our patients smile and provide them with positive experiences.
Particularly challenging in this setting are cases of depression, suicidal ideation, and out-of-control behavior in children and adolescents. Our goal is to raise awareness of such mental health issues and ask for the communitys support in funding a patient room that will address the comfort and safety concerns of our peers who may be suffering.
