The newly renovated 5E Pediatrics Unit is designed to meet the needs of young patients and their families—whether they’re staying for just a day or a bit longer.

With a focus on flexibility, comfort, and calm, the unit features a central nurse station for streamlined care, soft color palettes to support healing, and just the right amount of glass to bring in natural light while maintaining privacy. Clean lines, subtle branding, and modern finishes give the space a fresh and welcoming feel. Because many pediatric stays are short-term, the unit layout prioritizes efficient use of space—allowing staff to care for more patients without sacrificing comfort. Shared amenities, including large, thoughtfully designed restrooms, offer a seamless and supportive experience for families. This space reflects the mission of Mercy Health—to provide compassionate, high-quality care in an environment that puts children and families first.
