About Us
Welcome to the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital
The Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital is the signature piece of the East Tower vertical expansion at University Hospital. Housed on the top two floors of the expansion, the new children's hospital will provide over 87,000 square feet of space devoted to patient and family friendly amenities.
The dedicated "Tree House" entrance will welcome patients and visitors with an atmosphere made just for kids. The new facility will operate as a hospital-within-a-hospital and enhance the pediatric education and research missions that are integral to University Hospital, as well as continue to serve as a vocal advocate for regional children's health issues.
The Golisano Children's Hospital is dedicated to meeting the needs of children and their families and is committed to providing the best possible care for all we serve.
We truly believe that 'Children are not just small adults'!
