The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Buerger Center Design Team
When The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia decided to create a new ambulatory care facility, the Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care, they set a standard for hospitals committed to patient-centered care. Led by their Patient and Family Services Team and Outpatient Clinical Services Leadership, they were determined to create an environment that would address the unique needs of the growing number of children being diagnosed and treated there for Autism.
They realized it could only happen with the active, meaningful involvement of families in the Center’s creation from design to completion. And so it was. Through both family and youth advisory councils, their voices were heard, and with the help of on-staff Family Consultants and Ambulatory Services’ leadership, communication was maintained and obstacles were overcome. The impact of this family-provider collaboration has been profound, as detailed in their award submission. Take a moment to read it here.
