Our New Facility

Families and visitors will enter a world designed for 21st century pediatric medicine.

This new state-of-the-art children’s hospital will be significantly larger, with 12 stories and 560,000 square feet. In our new facility, inpatient and outpatient treatment areas will be immediately adjacent to each other. Every inpatient will have a private room, with a sleep sofa to accommodate parents. Our pediatric patients and their families can enjoy meals on demand, a food court offering selections for all different tastes and in-room video gaming. Patients of all sizes will enjoy the two-story indoor play area on the same floor as our pediatric oncology units, where pediatric patients can hula hoop, play basketball or get creative with arts and crafts.
