The hospital features all private rooms that consist of 168 pediatric beds.[1] The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric specialties and subspecialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 throughout the region.[2][3] The hospital also sometimes treats adults that require pediatric care.[4] The hospital shares the rooftop helipad for the attached Strong Memorial Hospital and is an ACS verified level I pediatric trauma center, one of the only ones in the region.[5] The hospital features a regional pediatric intensive-care unit and an American Academy of Pediatrics verified level IV neonatal intensive care unit.[6] GCH also offers one of the country's few Ronald McDonald Houses that is located within a hospital.[7]
History
[edit]Pediatrics at University of Rochester Medicine has historically taken place inside of pediatric units within Strong Memorial Hospital, which combined added up to a 124-bed capacity.[8] These units were known as Children's Hospital at Strong before being renamed to "Golisano Children's Hospital" in 2002 after a $14 million donation from Paychex founder, Tom Golisano.[9][10]
In 2011 plans were made to build a new freestanding children's hospital and Tom Golisano once again donated $20 million to help with the construction of the new project, with his donations totaling $34 million to the hospital. Plans called for new 245,000 SqF, nine-story building with 2 floors empty to use as shell space for future expansion. Construction was set in two parts, with part one opening in 2015.
The project was set at a price of $134 million, the largest project ever for the University of Rochester.[11] Large donations were made to the hospital from large charities including $7 million from the Wegman Family Foundation,[12] $5 million from Georgia Gosnell,[13][14] and $3 million from Rick Aab in honor of the Ganatra family.[15]
Phase two of construction began in fall 2016 and included pediatric specific operating rooms and a new pediatric intensive care unit. Construction for phase two took place in the 2 floors that were left for later expansion. Phase two was completed by the summer of 2017.[16]
In early 2020 the hospital rolled out a new service for parents of babies that were in the neonatal intensive care unit. The service run by company, AngelEye is able to provide video 24/7 to parents when they can't be in the nicu with their child.[17] Currently there are 20 cameras installed entirely funded by local donations. These cameras are free for parent use.[18][19]
