The Dolph C. Simons Family Broadcast Studio was dedicated Monday, launching the hospital’s Medical News Network. The fully functioning television studio includes cameras, audio equipment, lighting and green-screen capabilities. It will give media access to medical experts and allows the hospital to distribute video and information about medical research, technology and other subjects.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports the Medical News Network was used last month to distribute information across the world when the hospital had a patient who was tested for Ebola. The man did not have the disease.

Dolph Simons Jr., editor of the Journal-World and chairman of The World Company, and his family donated an undisclosed amount to fund the network.
