Designed with Future Families in Mind: Construction Begins on Women’s & Children’s Units

Upgrades to the Family Maternity Center, NICU and Pediatrics Unit began in July 2021

Earlier this year, EvergreenHealth began a multi-phase renovation and construction project for Women’s and Children’s Services that will bring updates to the Family Maternity Center, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and the Pediatrics Unit.

The renovations will integrate thoughtful enhancements to each unit, all designed with experienced patient and provider input that keeps families’ safety and comfort top of mind, while also introducing new efficiencies for providers and staff.
