Building a Healthier Future for Children
In our planning, we talked to parents and listened to children to find out what they
would wish for most in a hospital. We asked our caregivers what would help them continue to deliver the very best care.
These thoughts and ideas helped inspire the design of what will become our new space — an environment to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing of children.
Opening in 2014, we are creating a children's hospital like no other in the region, giving our patients and families the promise of even better days to come.
