The Children's Hospital 6th Floor
The 6th floor serves surgery, neurology, orthopedics and rehabilitation patients. Look for the "Yellow Buffalo" and you will know you are in the right place. The floor is shaped like an "L" and has two wings of private patient rooms. Upon exiting the elevator, you will see the family lounge, complete with computer and television and the playroom next door. Down the hall to the left is the gym for rehab and therapy treatments. Cheerful colors, beautiful views and lots of natural sunlight provide a welcoming environment.
Helping Kids Heal
Each floor of our inpatient tower is specially designed to help kids heal more quickly. Sound absorbing rubber floors and ceiling tiles minimize noise, as does our paging system that uses text messages or phones instead of overhead announcements to contact staff. This helps patients get the rest they need to heal.
Our natural, full-spectrum lighting is bright enough for providers to care for patients, yet dim enough to encourage sleep.
Research shows natural light benefits the healing process and a patient's outlook, so huge windows, "light wells" and a six-story atrium let natural light shine throughout the inpatient areas.
