On Monday, Jan. 20, Orange Regional Medical Center held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the opening of its Children's Emergency Department. Hospital staff, board members, physi - cians and community members were in attendance as Scott Batulis, Orange Regional's President and CEO, spoke about the need for a separate children's treatment area set apart from the adult patients being seen in the hospital's main Emergency Department. The depart - ment officially opened on Jan. 22. The Children's Emergency Department offers child-specific private treatment rooms, a triage area and a dedicated nurse's station. Each room is enhanced with hand-painted murals and custom artwork to calm children's fears and anxieties. Treatment rooms are also fitted with flat- screen televisions to help distract children from their illness or injury.
