Best Health Care Project: Randall Children's Hospital Consolidates Services
Designing a children's hospital to invite patients and families into what can often be a scary environment has intrinsic challenges. Add in a logistical construction challenge and there was plenty of need for innovation on the $115-million Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel in Portland.
The 334,000-sq-ft, nine-story hospital consolidated previously dispersed pediatric services into a new environment and identity for the hospital. The facility includes 165 inpatient beds for acute care, neonatal intensive care and pediatric intensive care, along with a children's cancer and blood disorder unit and a children's emergency department.
