Stollery sites

The Stollery Children’s Hospital

The Stollery opened in 2001, built within the existing walls of the Walter C. Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre, sharing space with the University of Alberta Hospital. With many improvements and innovations since it opened in 2001, the Hospital is home to the only pediatric emergency department in northern Alberta, the David Schiff Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the Hiller Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the Labonte Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and many more spaces that house the Stollery’s world-class care.

As we work toward building a new, purpose-built children’s hospital with No Bounds, donor support continues to ensure exceptional care for kids today.

The Stollery at the Royal Alexandra Hospital

The 69-bed Stollery Philip C. Etches Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), located at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, is one of the largest tertiary perinatal-neonatal centres in Canada. Each year, as many as 1,672 babies and their families benefit from this NICU, which provides care to critically ill newborns, most of whom are born prematurely.

The Stollery at the Sturgeon Community Hospital

In October 2019, a six-bed Stollery NICU opened at the Sturgeon Community Hospital. This unit allows families from St. Albert and surrounding areas to receive critical medical care for their premature babies without having to transfer to an Edmonton hospital. This keeps families closer to home — where they heal best. Each year, this NICU helps as many as 421 tiny Stollery patients and their families.

We’re excited to be building the future of this network — one that includes a new stand-alone Stollery designed for kids, families and the next generation of care.

In addition to the Stollery sites listed above, we’re committed to helping more kids get care closer to home, which is why we’ve invested in state-of-the-art pediatric equipment, a youth mental health unit and family-centred care programs at the new Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.
