Our new 500,000-square-foot children’s tower completes an entire city block dedicated to caring for kids.
Connected to our award-winning outpatient Children’s Pavilion, the new tower will house emergency, trauma and inpatient care. The new facility connects the wonders of childhood with the wonders of modern medicine.
New children’s tower –
