Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Emergency Department at Memorial Hospital Miramar

The Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Emergency Department at Memorial Hospital Miramar offers a low sensory room and private exam rooms for patients who have autism or other sensory sensitivities.  With autistic individuals being eight times more likely to visit an emergency room it’s essential to provide appropriate training for ER staff so that patients and their families and caregivers feel confident that they will receive supportive care.

Established in 2005, Memorial Hospital Miramar is a 178-bed facility offering acute-care adult services and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Level III NICU and Emergency Department. The community hospital offers a wide range of medical and surgical services, including a Cardiac Telemetry Unit, Imaging Services, expanded breast screening and diagnostic services with Solis Mammography, Intensive Care Unit, Women’s Services, Memorial Family Birthplace, Robotic Surgery Program, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Rehabilitation Center and Memorial Rehabilitation Institute.
