Summary
- New clinic funded by nearly $13.8 million in donations.
- Features 23 rooms, including on-site diagnostic imaging.

Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton marked the completion of its new pediatric surgery clinic this past Friday, August 15, 2026. This significant expansion was primarily supported by generous donors who contributed close to $13.8 million, with an additional $4.85 million invested by the province. The new facility boasts 23 clinic rooms, enhancing patient care with features like on-site diagnostic imaging for immediate X-rays.
Designed with children's comfort in mind, the clinic aims to transform the clinical environment into a more welcoming space. It incorporates elements such as comfortable bench seating, charging stations, play areas for younger children, and vibrant murals depicting scenes from Edmonton, Alberta, and Canada. These features are intended to help calm children before procedures.
Patient experiences highlight the positive impact of the new design. Families, including long-time Stollery patient Cameron Nagel, have expressed excitement over the targeted approach for both younger and older patients, contrasting it with the previous clinic's lack of amenities. The improved spaciousness and natural light were also noted as significant benefits, ensuring a more comfortable and less stressful visit for children and their families. The doors to the new clinic officially open on Monday, August 18, 2026.
