History

Emanuel started what it originally called the Children's Hospital in 1960.[1] Ronald McDonald House Charities opened a house at the hospital in 1997.[2] Construction on a new nine-story tower for the hospital began in 2007.[3] The $250 million project was designed by ZGF Architects and includes the first emergency department in the state only for pediatrics.[3] The new 334,000-square-foot (31,000 m2) separate structure was built by Hoffman Construction.[3] In September 2011, the Robert D. and Marcia H. Randall Charitable Trust donated $10 million to Legacy Health for the new facility, which was then renamed as the Randall Children's Hospital.[4] The new tower opened in February 2012.[5][6]

Services

Randall Children's Hospital offers a variety of pediatric services including burns, oncology, dentistry, ENT, emergency medicine, eye care, orthopedics, surgical, a neonatal ICU, audiology, urgent care, sleep disorders, rheumatology, and radiology, amongst others.[7]

Building

The 334,000-square-foot (31,000 m2) tower that houses the hospital was designed by ZGF Architects and built by Hoffman Construction.[8] The nine-story building contains 165 private rooms, plus a day surgery area with 22 beds.[9][10][11][12]
