CONSTRUCTION OF SARKIS GABRELLIAN WOMEN’S & CHILDREN’S PAVILION MOVING FORWARD AT MEDICAL CENTER
The construction of the Sarkis Gabrellian Women’s & Children’s Pavilion continues to move forward with the recent installation of steel to the structure. When completed in late 2005, the 300,000 square foot pavilion will house The Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital, The Women’s Hospital, and the Mark Messier Skyway for Tomorrows Children. The total cost of the project will be $117 million, with $45 million coming through the Hackensack University Medical Center Foundation in the form of philanthropic gifts.
In keeping with its tradition as the largest supporter of the medical center, The Tomorrows Children's Fund has made the largest donation to the new pavilion. The inpatient division of The Tomorrows Children's Institute for Cancer and Blood Disorders will move from its current location to a new and expanded unit in the women's & children's pavilion which will ultimately be comprised of 28 beds including 19 pediatric oncology beds and nine beds dedicated to pediatric bone marrow transplant patients. The area will house all private rooms; private baths; beds for parents; computer stations; playrooms; and solariums. Designed with input from patients and their families, amenities of the new pavilion will include two separate and distinct lobbies for each of the hospitals; a two-story atrium; a total of 192 spacious, beautifully appointed private patient rooms; and on-site dining facilities offering custom-order room service throughout the entire pavilion.
