Jacksonville-Based Baptist Health’s Wolfson Children’s Hospital To Unveil Critical Care Tower With AI-Powered Tech

Jacksonville-based Wolfson Children’s Hospital, of Baptist Health, will soon unveil a new building dedicated to neonatal and pediatric critical care.

The 7-floor building, named Borowy Family Children’s Critical Care Tower, will feature 127 beds and 122 suites equipped with new AI-powered tech. It will include a nenonatal ICU, pediatric critical care, a pediatric neuro-ICU— the first in the state, according to Wolfson—a cardiovascular ICU and a burn and wound care unit.

The hope was to “build the best critical care center in the world,” Michael Aubin, president of Wolfson Children’s Hospital, told Fierce Healthcare.

The hospital tore down a parking garage to make space for the tower. Before building the structure, hospital leadership, along with architects and tech partners, visited other buildings, reviewed plans of new construction projects and talked to other hospital leadership on the features of their facilities. Wolfson’s team also requested input on expectations from families.
