Facilities
Wolfson Children's Hospital
Wolfson Children's Hospital contains 180 pediatric beds. There are 20 PICU beds and 24 intermediate care beds. The hospital also houses an oncology unit, a bone marrow transplant unit, a neuro-diagnostic unit, which has 24-hour EEG capacity, a state-of-the art cardiac catheterization laboratory and a medical imaging department, which includes radiology, ultrasound, CT and MRI. The hospital was placed 16th on Child Magazine's "Best Children's Hospital" survey.
The Wolfson Children's Hospital provides technologically advanced, family-centered inpatient care in a smoothly functioning, supportive facility. Its design and layout de-emphasises typical hospital-like features, which some children and parents may find threatening. There is a conference room and a consultation room on each floor. There are two private on-call rooms with private baths on each patient floor. Wolfson Children's Hospital embodies our community's commitment to children's health and to pediatric education and research.
