Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital is a leader in pediatric clinical care and research, and is the region’s premier teaching hospital for future pediatricians, pediatric surgical specialists and clinicians. Our partnerships with the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have helped build a strong reputation for both teaching and discovery.

Le Bonheur broke ground on our new hospital in February 2008 and the new Le Bonheur Children’s will open in late 2010.  The $340-million, 610,000-square-foot hospital will double Le Bonheur’s current space for patient care, research and teaching. The new hospital is designed to serve the children of our area for the next 50 years and beyond. Everything from interior design to state-of-the-art technology is focused on one thing - providing exceptional care for children. 

When the new hospital opens in 2010 it will feature:

• A campus that is 50 percent larger than the current facility and covers more than one million square feet.
• 12 patient care floors with the capacity for 255 inpatient beds and ability to expand.
• Dedicated units for pediatric intensive care, cardiovascular intensive care and neonatal intensive care.
• An Emergency Department with 64 patient treatment rooms; more than double the current size.
• New diagnostic and treatment services including a 14-room surgical suite, a two-room cardiac catheterization laboratory, an interventional radiology suite and an endoscopy suite.
• A significant increase in research space
• Private patient rooms designed to accommodate comfortable sleeping space for two parents.
• Playrooms and space for families to gather on every in-patient floor.
• Diversionary settings for inpatients, outpatients and siblings including a reading room, a mini-movie theater and play areas.
• A parent stay unit for family members who want to remain close by their children in critical care.
• Le Bonheur Club’s Parent Resource Center, with access to learning materials, Internet and patient educators.
