December 2, 2022  |  Uncategorized  |  Post Comment

On Monday, Dec. 12, Seattle Children’s Magnuson (6901 Sand Point Way NE – formerly the 70th & Sand Point Way Administrative building) will open as the new home to our Autism Center and many outpatient behavioral health programs. The entire second floor of the building has been renovated and specifically designed to meet the needs of children and youth with autism. The new facility is part of Seattle Children’s vision to create a future where every young person has access to evidence-based mental and behavioral health services when and where they need them. The new clinic combines health care with outreach, training and research to better meet the needs of our community and beyond.

Magnuson Building Updates:

  • Seattle Children’s Magnuson building hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
  • Parking onsite is provided for patients and families, as well as for our staff working at the clinic. Staff must park in the gated staff parking lot and are not permitted to park in the neighborhood, per our parking policy.
  • Onsite Security will continue to staff the front desks (one the north entrance and one at the west entrance) during building hours.
  • There is a new outdoor playground that serves the clinic on the west side of the building, where the previous child care playground used to be.
  • Our administrative workforce continues to occupy the first floor of the building.
  • Seattle Children’s shuttles will continue to connect the building with the hospital campus, just a mile and a half away, with a stop on Sand Point Way.
  • Our Transportation team also continues to use the upper parking lot as a shuttle hub.

Forest B Helipad Simulation Event on Nov. 9

October 28, 2022  |  Building Care, Seattle Children's Hospital Campus  |  Post Comment

On Wednesday, Nov. 9, Seattle Children’s will conduct a simulation event for the new helipad on top of Forest B between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. During this time, we anticipate that the helicopter will make two landings. Landings during the simulation event will use the same flight pattern that the helicopters typically do, and should look much the same as a typical helicopter landing at the hospital. However, they will be landing on top of Forest B instead of Forest A. The simulations are being done to prepare for the permanent relocation of the helipad to Forest B. For any questions or concerns, please contact construction@seattlechildrens.org.

Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (OBCC) Central District Closure

June 16, 2022  |  Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic  |  Post Comment

Delivering a positive experience for patients, their families and workforce members is our top priority. During routine evaluations of the renovation project currently underway at Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic (OBCC) Central District, it was discovered that repairs were needed that were beyond the original scope. As a result, we will be closing this location for the time being to fully evaluate the situation and develop long-term plans. We are shifting operations to the recently opened OBCC Othello location in early July.

We are currently rescheduling families with OBCC Central location appointments to receive care at the OBCC Othello location or via telehealth.

We remain firmly committed to the Central District community and are working toward a solution. We promise to keep patients, families and the community updated on progress.

For more information please visit, www.seattlechildrens.org/obcc or call 206-987-7210.
