The 187,000-square-foot hospital has four oors, each dedicated to an area of pediatric health care. On the rst oor is a Level 3 Trauma Center with 18 emergency bays, two trauma bays, an imaging center and an outpatient retail
pharmacy. Operating rooms, endos- copy suites and a sleep lab are located on the second oor of the hospital. A total of 36 hospital beds will be located on the third oor, along with a Ronald McDonald House two-bed- room suite and family respite space. “We have 24 acute care beds and 12 high-risk [pediatric intensive care unit] beds. Those can be utilized in exible manners,” Chief Administra- tive Ocer Cathy Heckenlively said. The hospital’s fourth oor has a shell space that allows for 36 more beds in the future.
