A new home for the Stollery

Where are we today?

The Stollery is one of the most specialized children’s hospitals in Canada. Kids from across four provinces and three territories rely on its world-class care — from broken bones to organ transplants and rare diseases.

But the Hospital was never built for kids. It’s woven through an adult facility, with:

• No room to grow
  Population growth and increasing demand mean the Stollery cannot expand within its current footprint.
• Limited privacy
  Two-thirds of beds are in shared spaces, separated only by curtains — making care even more difficult during stressful moments.
• Outdated clinical spaces
  Many operating rooms and treatment areas were built decades ago and no longer support modern pediatric technology.
• No child-first design
  There’s little space to support the emotional, sensory or therapeutic needs of children and families.

Where are we going?

A new, stand-alone Stollery Children’s Hospital will transform what’s possible for kids and families by offering:

• Integrated care under one roof
  Medical teams, mental health supports, virtual care, research, training and innovation brought together to improve outcomes.
• Privacy and dignity
  Single-patient rooms that give children and families space to heal and to be together.
• Reduced wait times
  More space and more beds mean more timely care for families across Alberta.
• Support for parents and caregivers
  Family-centred spaces, care-by-parent rooms and supportive amenities.
• Modern facilities for pediatric specialists
  State-of-the-art clinical spaces, technology, teaching environments and outpatient clinics that help attract and retain top talent.
• A true child-first design
  Therapeutic play areas, calming environments and thoughtful design that puts kids — and their healing — at the centre.

How can you help?

Now that the Government of Alberta has secured land for the new Stollery in partnership with the University of Alberta, community support is essential to bring the vision to life.
