Join us as we launch Acute Care Pediatrics 11, a brand-new 24-bed pediatric unit opening in January 2027! This state-of-the-art unit will care for surgical patients across trauma, burn, and general surgery, with telemetry monitoring in both general care and step-down settings. The unit will also feature accredited epilepsy monitoring services, delivering advanced seizure management through continuous video and EEG monitoring.

Be part of a pioneering team shaping the future of pediatric care from day one-where your skills, compassion, and expertise will make a real impact on children and families.
