The University of Missouri Children's Hospital, also known as the MU Children's Hospital, was the largest pediatric health care facility in Mid-Missouri. More than 100 physicians provided care in more than 30 pediatric specialties including cardiology, cancer and surgical specialties, [6] radiology, a pediatric sleep lab, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. One of the few remaining pediatric services remaining at Women's is the highest level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Level III). [2] The sophisticated Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), an adolescent unit, a short-stay center, a general pediatrics unit, an adolescent game room, a pediatric play room, a patient playground, [7] and a school for children who are in the hospital for a long period of time have been moved to the main University Hospital Campus. [2] In 2009, more than 4,000 patients were admitted to Children's Hospital. Clinic visits numbered nearly to 42,500. [8]

The University of Missouri Healthcare System is transitioning to one central campus, with plans for a Children's Tower by Summer of 2024. [9] The Pediatric Emergency Room. Pediatric Inpatient Services, and Surgeries and Procedures have been relocated to University Hospital, until the new Children's Tower is completed. [9] The Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Unit has been relocated to the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center within the University Hospital. [9]

History

In 1972, physicians from Columbia Orthopaedic Group joined with a number of other physicians from around Columbia to build Columbia Regional Hospital. Construction began after the land was purchased on February 7, 1972, and the new Columbia Regional Hospital and 33,000-square-foot (3,100 m2) orthopedic clinic to the south opened in 1974. [10] [11] [12]

Columbia Orthopedic Group leased the 265-bed facility to Medenco, which later became Lifemark Corp. Ten years later, Lifemark purchased the hospital and then sold it to American International Hospital Corp., which in turn became Tenet Healthcare Corporation. [12] In 1999 University of Missouri Health Care purchased Columbia Regional Hospital from Tenet Healthcare for $34.55 million. [13]

Change to Women's and Children's Hospital

In September 2010, University of Missouri Children's Hospital moved to the Columbia Regional Hospital and the name was officially changed to University of Missouri Women's and Children's Hospital. More than $12 million was spent to renovate the former building including the construction of two new entrances, one child-friendly and one specifically for women. [14] [15]

New location

Future plans call for the hospital to be relocated to a new hospital near the University of Missouri Hospital. It is expected to open in 2024. [16] The Ronald McDonald will be relocated near the new hospital.
