We are lucky enough to be in the early stages of planning a new Children’s Hospital with new Pediatric ED in Charleston, SC.
As you may know, we are right at sea level and have a problem with flooding every once in a while… I was wondering if anyone has experience planning an ED in a similar setting or has an ED in which you have to go up an elevator to get to the entrance? If so, can you tell he how you tackled this problem?

Thanks for considering and feel free to email me individually!
