Sarasota Memorial Hospital's Emergency Care Center is one of just 19 emergency departments across the nation and the only one in Florida to earn the prestigious Emergency Nurses Association Lantern Award in 2018. This award recognizes emergency departments that demonstrate excellent practice and innovative performance in leadership, education, advocacy and research. SMH's Emergency team shared the outcomes of several quality initiatives, including the reduction of door-to-treatment times and length of patients’ stay in the ECC, and the establishment of a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program to provide supportive, compassionate care to assault victims. The award also recognized the department's excellent nurse retention and turnover rates, as well as staff's commitment to professionalism and education.
