Valley Children’s Healthcare plans to build a 73,000-square-foot ambulatory pavilion at its Madera campus, a project designed to centralize specialty services for children with complex medical needs.

The pavilion is expected to break ground in spring 2027 and will bring multiple specialists and support services together, reducing the need for families to travel between appointments.

Hospital leaders say the project is intended to improve coordination of care while helping families spend less time moving between services.

“Our family is excited for what this will mean,” said Veronica Campbell, whose son receives care from multiple specialists at the hospital. “Bringing services together in one place will make a meaningful difference for families like ours, helping to streamline visits and making the overall experience easier to manage.”

The project reflects a broader healthcare trend toward consolidating specialty services in single locations to improve efficiency and patient experience.

Across the Central Valley, healthcare providers have increasingly invested in multidisciplinary outpatient facilities that bring together a range of services under one roof. United Health Centers has focused in the last several years on adding multidisciplinary outpatient facilities housing multiple specialties under one roof, while Community Health System recently launched the 60,000-square-foot Bob Smittcamp Family Neurosciences Institute to consolidate neurological care services.

Additional details, including project costs, funding sources and an anticipated completion date, were not included in the release.
