Wolfson Children's Hospital

We request that only two adults accompany each child.  In order to focus on your child who is having surgery, we request other children not accompany the family.  Please arrive at the facility at the time instructed so your child’s surgery won’t be delayed or cancelled.  We encourage you to allow extra time in your travel plans in case of traffic or unexpected delays. 

Where to go

Parking and Where to Go in the Hospital:  Parking at Wolfson Children’s Hospital and Baptist Outpatient Center is free of charge.  A five-story parking garage on Palm Avenue serves Baptist Medical Center and Wolfson Children’s Hospital.  The garage is open 24 hours a day, and it has an elevator that provides easy transport to the medical center and hospital.  For assistance, please call Baptist Hospital Security at (904)202-1355. 

Upon entering Wolfson Children’s Hospital, please check-in at the reception desk in the main lobby.

When you arrive at the surgical services facility, we will ask your child to change into a hospital gown and will then check his or her  temperature, pulse, blood pressure, height and weight.  To help occupy your child until the time for surgery, we provide a play area.  When it is close to the time for surgery, we will escort you and your child to a holding area, where you will meet the anesthesiologist and operating room nurse.
