Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego is expanding with a new $1.2 billion facility set to open in 2028. The seven-story tower will include 140 ICU beds, four operating rooms, and a significantly larger emergency department to accommodate the increasing number of annual visits, which have risen from 20,000 to around 120,000. The design process involved collaboration with healthcare staff to create a child-friendly, healing environment. Additionally, Rady’s Institute for Genomic Medicine is advancing its research on genetic conditions, including the BeginNGS study, which screens newborns for rare diseases, aiming to reduce emergency care needs. Rady’s efforts signify a shift towards a more scientific approach to pediatric care.
