Center for Emergency Medicine

The estimated $45 million Center for Emergency Medicine (CEM), which is scheduled to be completed by 2010, will more than double available space for adult and pediatric emergency care. Featuring convenient drive-up access from Euclid Avenue, the 54,000-square-foot CEM is a key part of UH's Vision 2010 strategic plan, which includes the University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center, the Quentin & Elisabeth Alexander Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, a new Cancer Hospital at University Hospitals Case Medical Center, the University Hospitals Twinsburg Health Center, and the University Hospitals Concord Health Center, as well as an Electronic Medical Record system. UH's Vision 2010 initiative is one of the largest investments in the history of University Circle and, in this endeavor, UH and The Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation share a dedication to the future of our community, including the care of the region's most vulnerable populations. "The Center for Emergency Medicine is a meaningful investment in our community by University Hospitals," says Ellen Stirn Mavec, President of The Smith Foundation. "Emergency medicine is of vital importance to the health of this region and we are excited to partner with University Hospitals in their plans to reinvest in this critical service."
