It is located on the University of Saskatchewan campus and is connected via corridor to the Royal University Hospital. It is located along the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. It was opened on September 29, 2019.[1]
The facility is operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. It is equipped with a helipad, used by Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society. It includes a pediatric intensive care unit and a neonatal intensive care unit.[2] The facility's Child Life Zone was created through a partnership between Garth Brooks' Teammates for Kids Foundation and the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation.
The facility is named after Canadian business magnate Jim Pattison after a $50 million donation was announced in May 2017[3] by then Premier of Saskatchewan Brad Wall.
