A word about the family waiting area ...

I've been in a LOT of family waiting rooms.

Usually you get a couple uncomfortable chairs in a small windowless room, have to wander around half the hospital to find a bathroom, and get limited information.

Not at Abington Memorial Hospital.

The room is large and spacious.

It's in a six story atrium, open all the way to the skylights at the top.

And there's a tranquility fountain.

Usually this means a small to moderately sized bowl of water that makes a trickly noise.

This thing is the height of the floor below the waiting area, and about twenty feet wide, so it gives extra tranquility.

The photo really doesn't give the proper sense of the immenseness of the space. The family waiting area is that first level up from the fountain.
