UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only nationally ranked, comprehensive hospital for children, serving infants, children, adolescents and young adults with primary, subspecialty and critical care. It includes the Central Valley's only pediatric emergency department and level I pediatric trauma center, which offers the highest level of care for critically ill children.
Through the gracious philanthropic support from groups such as Children's Miracle Network and Credit Union for Kids, UC Davis Medical Center and Children's Hospital entered a new era in pediatric critical-care medicine with the grand opening of our state-of-the-art, family-centered pediatric intensive care unit /pediatric cardiac intensive care unit dedicated to advancing health and saving the lives of critically ill and injured children throughout greater Northern California.
The unit complements earlier enhancements to pediatric facilities at UC Davis. One year ago, UC Davis opened its state-of-the-art pediatric emergency department, which expanded the size of the facility from six to 11 beds. And in 2006, UC Davis opened an award-winning, neonatal intensive care unit for the tiniest, sickest patients.
The 118-bed children's hospital includes the state-of-the-art 49-bed neonatal and 24-bed pediatric intensive care units. With more than 120 physicians in 33 subspecialties, UC Davis Children's Hospital has more than 74,000 clinic and hospital visits and 13,000 emergency department visits each year.
