About twenty eight percent of the population is kids and teenagers and about twenty two are adults older than fifty five (John C. Lincoln Deer Valley, 2012).
Even though emergency department at this hospital was built just back in 2004 with all the private rooms in the facility, they still decided to renovate it and just recently. The reason why this hospital had to renew their Emergency Room floor was because of not enough space in the facility. Because of this problem patients had to wait a bit longer than is prudent.
