Our expert surgeons are trained to care specifically for the unique needs of infants and children, and we offer the benefits of a full-service pediatric hospital dedicated
only to the care of kids.

The surgical facilities at Children’s Hospital, which opened in the spring of 2020 as part of the hospital’s $300 million campus transformation, include a spacious lobby and waiting area for families, leading to a 42-bed Same Day Surgery Unit with all private patient rooms. Two private consultation rooms bridge the unit and OR to allow for quick consults between physicians and parents. A spacious 24-bay Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is located directly next to the Same Day Surgery Unit, providing easy access for families after the child’s surgery. Our facilities include 12 expansive ORs, with an OR dedicated to the Da Vinci surgical robot, two cardiac catheterization labs, and five special procedure suites.
