Borowy Family Children’s Critical Care Tower Officially Opens

The hospital first broke ground on the tower back in May 2019.

The new Borowy Family Children’s Critical Care Tower in Jacksonville, Florida has opened. The first patients were transferred from the Wolfson Children’s neonatal intensive care units to the tower’s new three-floor, high-level neonatal intensive care center in February. Pediatric intensive care unit and cardiovascular intensive care unit patients will follow soon. 

Crews broke ground on the seven-story, $224 million building in May 2019. With five floors dedicated to children’s intensive care, the Borowy Family Children’s Critical Care Tower provides the space and resources needed to care for the region’s growing number of critically ill and injured newborns and children, including: 

  • a high-level neonatal intensive care center spanning three floors 
  • a pediatric intensive care unit 
  • a neuro-intensive care unit 
  • a cardiovascular intensive care unit 
  • a burn and wound unit 

Designed to meet the needs of children and families, each room has a private bath, can comfortably sleep two parents and maximizes natural light, which helps promote well-being in postpartum mothers, infants and children. The Chartrand Frisch Family Birth and Newborn Center at Baptist Jacksonville has direct access to the new Neonatal Intensive Care Center, expediting specialized care immediately after birth, if needed. 

The first two floors of the Borowy Family Children’s Critical Care Tower serve as the main lobbies and entryway to Wolfson Children’s and Baptist Jacksonville. The skybridge, which opened in January, allows patients to safely cross Palm Avenue from the P2 parking garage and connects directly to the second-floor lobby of the new tower.
