Briggs & Al’s Run & Walk has raised more than $11 million throughout its history. Pledgeraisers and donors can designate their money to a specific area of the hospital. In past years, the undesignated money raised by this event has benefited the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and the Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant Unit.
However, this year undesignated money will support the west tower, which opened March 30, 2009. The west tower was added to meet the current and future needs of all our patients. As one of the nation’s busiest hospitals for kids, Children’s Hospital is growing faster than expected and needs additional beds and clinic space to care for children. The 12-story expansion has 100 percent private rooms and 296 beds. Two floors will house the world-renowned Herma Heart Center, with room left on the remaining floors to expand as needed in the future.
In planning the tower, we recognized the need to make each room warm, comfortable and welcoming. Our new patient rooms will have many features designed to make each family’s stay as easy as possible. Every detail in the west tower has been studied by physicians, nurses, clinicians and families, ensuring the best possible design for the best possible child-centered and family-centered care.
