Pediatric surgery clinic expansion

As our population expands and the need continues to grow, aging infrastructure and limited space make it increasingly difficult for Hospital staff to provide the best possible care for surgical patients.

• In 2023, the Stollery Surgery Clinic had 24,519 patient visits
• The annual volume of patients scheduled for a visit within the last three years has increased by 18 per cent
• This translates to an average of 150 visitors daily with a waiting room offering only 43 seats.
• Children and youth come from across central and northern Alberta, and from the other three western provinces and three territories

Our goal

We are committed to raising $13 million to help build a new, modern pediatric surgery clinic in the neighbouring KAYE Edmonton Clinic, also located on the University of Alberta campus.

Our vision

By relocating and expanding the Stollery pediatric surgery clinic, our Hospital partners will be able to finally build a state-of-the-art clinic that reflects and supports the Stollery’s internationally recognized programming. Stollery families deserve a space that provides an exceptional experience.

Thanks to our donors, as of November 2024, construction is underway to build the new Stollery Surgery Clinic on the 5th floor of the KAYE Edmonton Clinic. The clinic is scheduled to open in early 2026.

Improving access and patient outcomes

The expanded pediatric surgery clinic will:

• Be rightsized to meet current needs while taking into consideration future growth
• Include 23 clinic rooms with built-in flexibility – 16 exam rooms, four procedure rooms, and three casting rooms, two X-ray rooms, a urodynamic room with barrier-free bathroom and dedicated rehab storage space
• Have larger exam rooms complete with integrated technology to support virtual health and improve privacy
• Allow more surgeons to see more patients and recommend surgical solutions sooner
• Create a safer environment for patients and staff
• Place a greater focus on family-centred care, including a kids’ play area in the waiting room with sensory items and toys to decrease anxiety
• Offer Stollery surgical staff members new educational and research opportunities
• Include multiple interdisciplinary rooms
• Feature a waiting room that will be accessible, warm and inviting, with plenty of natural light in an open and modern concept
