Set to open in 2018 within the Kimmel Pavilion, Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital’s new dedicated pediatric inpatient facility will offer children and families a place to receive world-class medical care that was designed with their unique needs and perspectives in mind. The Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital name will continue to encompass NYU Langone’s children’s programs and services across all locations, including inpatient care, the KiDS Emergency Department, and all ambulatory services. Most pediatric inpatient care, as well as outpatient procedures and perioperative services, will be provided in the new children’s hospital which will have its own entrance and lobby, as well as enhanced security features to give parents extra peace of mind.At 830,000 square feet, the Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Pavilion will have 374 beds and 11 floors devoted to inpatient care. The same structure will also be home to the new Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital inpatient facility, a “hospital within a hospital,” with a separate entrance and multiple floors dedicated to the unique needs of young patients and their families.The Springfling Gala celebrated nearly $7.5 million, including gala proceeds and generosity from the KiDS of NYU Langone and NASCAR Foundations, to enhance clinical and supportive care for children at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital, foster research into childhood illnesses, and promote an atmosphere that is sensitive to the unique needs of children and families.
