On the main Harper Street corridor are the surgery and outpatient procedure units. The large family sitting area on the right of the corridor can be seen from Harper Street as the big, blue protruding square on the side of the building. On the left side of the corridor across from the sitting room is the receptionists desk. The CMC has 10 pre-operative rooms, nine phase I recovery bays and one phase I recovery isolation room. The 10 pre-operative rooms can do double duty for phase II recovery of patients.
Parents are welcome in both places and can go to the operating room for anesthesia induction.
The operating suite has its own pharmacy, blood gas lab and pathology lab. To the rear of the operating suite are three trauma elevators for transporting patients directly from the helideck on top of the CMC to any floor. Also to the rear of the CMC are two special-procedure rooms. Patients, visitors and CMC staff can walk from the main Harper Street corridor of the inpatient facility to the third floor of the Ambulatory Care Center, which houses most of outpatient services for children. The Fourth Floor CMC's fourth floor emphasizes freedom and family togetherness.
