The Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care opened in 2015 on the Raymond G. Perelman Campus. Clinicians in this extraordinary building provided unsurpassed pediatric care to 88,000 families in its first year of operation.

Thanks to generous charitable donations, including the Buerger family’s landmark $50 million gift, the center contains family- and patient-friendly features such as clinical neighborhoods that group related specialties together; a design that makes wayfinding easy; spacious, light-filled waiting rooms; areas for educational play before and between appointments; and a 1,500-vehicle garage to ease arrivals and departures.

The Buerger Center is on Civic Center Boulevard just south of the main hospital. Turn left from Civic Center Boulevard into Driveway B, and follow signs to Garage B.
