Congratulations to the Methodist Children's Hospital Emergency Department for receiving the ENA® Lantern Award®.

It is with great honor to share that the Methodist Children’s Hospital Emergency Department has received the ENA® Lantern Award®.

The ENA (Emergency Nurses Association) bestows the Lantern Award on emergency departments that exemplify exceptional practice and innovative performance in the core areas of nursing leadership, practice, education, advocacy, and research.

“This prestigious award truly reflects the commitment to excellence from our nursing leadership and teamwork within Methodist Children’s Hospital’s Emergency Department to provide exceptional patient care,” said Rachel Goldsmith, CEO of Methodist Children’s Hospital.

Methodist Children’s Hospital is one of 96 emergency departments across the United States to receive this award, which is less than two percent of all emergency departments in the country.

“I am overjoyed to see the hard work and dedication from our emergency nurses recognized on a national level,” said Negar Johnson, Chief Nursing Officer of Methodist Children’s Hospital. “While it’s exciting to be recognized, it’s fulfilling to know the work we are doing is directly impacting the quality of emergency care we are providing to our pediatric community, which is our whole reason for doing what we do.”

Meet Jessica. She’s a cancer survivor and her daughter has Type 1 diabetes. They’re among millions of Americans who are about to face a major increase in health insurance costs.

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (EPTCs) are currently helping 24 million people – including our patients – afford high-quality healthcare coverage through the insurance Marketplace (https://bit.ly/40pvfK0). Americans who purchase insurance on their own and rely on the tax credit are now facing skyrocketing costs if Congress allows the credit to expire at the end of 2025, putting at risk the health of children like Jessica’s daughter.

“We were living a perfectly normal life, and we suddenly had a child that had a chronic illness,” said Jessica. “We’re not wealthy. Money can get tight…we need Congress to take action now. It’s vital for us.”
