Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children will open its expanded Center for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders later this month, tripling the size of its outpatient unit and doubling its inpatient capacity. The five million dollar project was funded by philanthropic support.
“We’re very excited about our expanded space which enhances the healing environment for our patients,” said Mary Rogers, patient care administrator for pediatric services at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. “Our patients spend a great deal of time in the healthcare setting and we wanted to give them an area that would allow their complex medical needs to be met without forgetting the joy of childhood.”
The center has a serene Florida golf theme featuring mammals in the outpatient unit and water animals in the inpatient unit. The Haley Family Kid’s Place Outpatient Unit expanded from 2,594 to 10,672 square feet. It features eight private infusion bays, three long stay infusion rooms, eight physician exam rooms, two sedation rooms, a video conference room, a playroom and Child Life work area and an audiology testing booth to serve not only the pediatric cancer patients but all pediatric patients in need of hearing tests. The outpatient unit will open on June 29.
The Edward Joseph and Helen Hall Leon & Family Inpatient Unit increased from 11 to 20 beds and grew from 5,512 to 13,513 square feet. It also includes two sedation rooms, two playrooms with one being dedicated exclusively to teenagers, a dedicated sibling corner and a family gathering room. Patients will move to the new unit on July 6.
