I'd like to add more medical icons to the current crop of icons. New York State's DOH website has a set of icons that seem to work fairly well for getting the point across in their hospital profile section.

  • STEMI / PCI
    Show an EKG, with an ST Elevation.
  • CVA
    NYS show a persons head, with a EKG. (Interesting Choice, must allude to the "Brain Attack" term)
  • Psychiatric
    Show the person icon, but one half filled in, and the other half just an outline. (A connotation of schizophrenia.)
  • Pediatrics
    Show a child.
  • Perinatal
    Show an expectant mother / baby bump.
  • Neonatal
    Show a baby in a swaddler.
  • SAFE (Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner)
    NYS show's a persons hand reaching out, and another hand halting.
  • AIDS
    A red ribbon.
  • Burn Centers
    They show a Fire Icon. (fa-fire, kinda works for this.)

These are the main icons that I see are missing are the types of services that each hospital provides. Where some hospitals can provide care for STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarctions aka Heart Attacks) other's can not provide intervention catheterization of the blockage. FDNY has a list of hospitals it considers "STEMI Centers" or other county call "PCI Centers" (Percutaneous coronary intervention) centers. There are also hospitals that can't handle strokes (known as CVA and some times called Brain Attacks) because they don't have a CT Scan Machine (although that's not been an issue around here for many years.), levels of trauma care is another factor, and some hospitals don't have doctors that retinuely handle Pediatric patients (children), or Perinatal care for patients that are expectant mothers. Only some hospitals have SAFE nurses on staff, other hospitals don't have a Neontal ICU at all. I want to make a set of icons that get the point across on what a hospital does and does not have. I think these would make great additions to Font-Awesome as well.
