St. Mary’s Hospital for Children’s New Patient Pavilion

St. Mary’s Building Hope, Restoring Lives Campaign to build a new state-of-the-art Patient Pavilion has reached another incredible milestone!

Thanks to the oupouring of community support, we have reached our $30 million campaign goal more than one year ahead of schedule! And, the ongoing commitment of our loyal supporters has enabled St. Mary’s to increase our goal to $35 million.

The Building Hope, Restoring Lives Campaign is all about securing a brighter future for children with special needs and their families. Launched in 2008, the goal of this comprehensive 5-year campaign is to build a new Patient Pavilion and modernize the medical campus of St. Mary’s Hospsital for Children, as well as sustain and enhance vital programs and services that improve the health and quality of life for our children.

The new building will boast enhanced delivery of patient care, a rehabilitation wing with expanded indoor and outdoor rehab space, community areas to foster healing and growth, family suites, and an overall ample environment for pediatric care.

Key highlights will include:

• Patient Pavilion, a 97-bed state-of-the-art pavilion dedicated to patient care, with expanded rehabilitation space, and community areas to foster healing and growth in a child- and family-friendly environment.
• Patient Neighborhoods, a home-like environment that blends the best of children’s specialty hospital and home-like amenities for enhanced care–wireless technology for point of care charting, gasses at each bedside, alcoves for wheelchair/equipment storage, an interactive zone for patient/staff interaction, and a great room for informal dining and socialization. Based on best practices and evidence-based research, all four floors are designed the same to optimize efficient, safe care delivery.
• Family Suites, for overnight visitation and family education and reintegration skills prior to discharge.
• Rehabilitation Wing, enhanced indoor and outdoor space designed to accommodate multiple modalities of therapy, including state-of-the-art rehab equipment and endless pool for aquatic therapy. Contiguous outdoor space includes beautifully landscaped play areas that focus on different therapeutic goals and promote community reintegration complete with walking track, sidewalks, bus stop, and road signs.
• Enhanced Education and Classrooms, provides a permanent home and improved educational environment for PS 23Q, St. Mary’s onsite public school.
