Delray Medical Center has opened a new seven-bay Vertical Emergency Room to speed up care for patients with less serious health issues.
In this new emergency room, patients can relax in recliners while being treated.
“We recognized the need for a more patient-centered approach when it comes to providing emergency care for people with less acute health needs,” said Dr. Peter Kaplan, facility medical director and chairman of emergency services at the hospital.
“The Vertical ER enables us to offer more focused and streamlined care to patients who qualify for this approach, with the goal of ensuring they receive the attention they need more quickly and more efficiently,” he said.
Delray Medical Center also has unveiled a renovated EMS lounge, which offers EMS personnel a comfortable space with seats, a TV, free food and other refreshments when they are on the job.

Triangulate Labs entered into a licensing agreement with the Mayo Clinic to develop its Skinmap technology, an artificial intelligence-powered photography system that helps dermatologists find and cure skin cancer earlier.
The system uses a mobile device to capture hundreds of high-resolution images of a patient’s skin in less than a minute. From there, its algorithms review each image pixel and matches it to the location on the body, making it possible to create a detailed 3D map of the skin.
Under terms of the deal, the Mayo Clinic will offer guidance to Triangulate Labs and remove barriers to patient access.
Founded in 2022, Triangulate Labs is based at the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
