The Phoenix Children’s Hospital is gearing up to unveil its new, $40 million Emergency Department and Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center to the public on Sept. 20.
The 42,000-square-foot addition is more than tripling the children’s hospital’s emergency capacity from 23 to 75 private exam rooms, allowing the Phoenix Children’s Hospital to treat 100,000 patients yearly.
Az Business magazine was given a behind the scenes tour of the hospital’s latest additions.
The Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s original Emergency Department was only able to accommodate 22,000 patients on a yearly basis, while the hospital has been treating nearly four times that many patients each year with more than 83,000 annual patients coming to the Emergency Department.
