Thoughtfully designed from the ground up with input from all stakeholders, including clinicians and patients, this is more than just a building. It is a giant leap forward in our ongoing effort to deliver cutting-edge care, improve outcomes and innovate to meet the healthcare challenges of tomorrow. The new hospital includes a dedicated transplant clinic and a dialysis unit.
