In Emily's memory, her family brought forward an idea unlike anything the Foundation had done before: transforming the emergency department's quiet room into a place of comfort and connection for families facing life's most difficult moments.

Watch Emily's story and learn how her family helped create something meaningful for others.

We're grateful to the family and ConocoPhillips for helping make this project possible through their generous support.
