"No one ever wants to see a child ill or injured, but hospital and clinical providers do want to ensure that they are well prepared when the situation does arise," Maine Emergency Medical System for Children program manager Marc Minkler says in a press release.
That's why Maine Medical Center has become the first hospital in the state to receive the "Maine Always Ready for Children" award, which recognizes hospitals that have gone the extra mile to make sure they're ready to deal with any kind of pediatric emergency.
