Emergency Room Documentary to be Rebroadcast Thursday
CHICAGO, IL (July 10, 2002) - Barbara Suplit of Congregational Covenant Church
in
Waltham, Massachusetts, will be featured in part two of a six-part
documentary that airs Thursday evening at 9 p.m. (CDT) on Chicago's
WTTW-Channel 11. It is a repeat of the episode shown Tuesday evening,
and can be seen nationally on Public Broadcasting System (PBS)
affiliates.
Suplit, a graduate of North Park University (then College), is a
certified
pediatric nurse practitioner. She appears in the documentary,
"Children's Hospital," which features stories about some of the young
patients at the hospital. She works as a psychiatric consultation
liaison
in the emergency room at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Filming for the series, a co-production of Oregon Public Broadcasting
and
internationally known Lion Television, began in August 2001. The
reality-based program follows the day-to-day activities of the hospital.
The first episode was shown nationally on July 2.
Before
beginning work at Children's Hospital in April 2001, Suplit
earned a
masters degree from the University of North Carolina in primary care
pediatrics and worked in Raleigh, North Carolina, as a nurse
practitioner.
She headed the medical staff at CHIC2K, the denomination's triennial
high
school event in Knoxville, Tennessee, two years ago.
Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago was created in 1882 as an
eight-bed
facility housed in a converted cottage. Today, the hospital is one of
the
top pediatric facilities in the United States, according to U.S. News
and World Report. Last year, Children's Hospital served more than
80,000 children, most of them patients under the age of 10 (about 75
percent of the total). The pediatric emergency department at Children's
Hospital treats more than 40,000 kids annually, with more than 100
children
arriving daily.
