The expansion of Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford will more than double the current size of the Palo Alto, Calif.-based hospital, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control & Clinical Quality website.
The new facility was built with a family-centered design and innovative technologies, including a neuro-hybrid operating suite.
Patient rooms are nearly all private and more spacious. There will be dedicated family lounges, laundry facilities and kitchens on every patient floor.
There are also 3.5 acres of green space and gardens.
