You will practice at one of the largest freestanding children's hospitals in the United States, a 533-bed institution that has provided world-class care for more than 40 years. Phoenix Children's operates as a voluntary nonprofit organization with a mission to advance hope, healing, and the best healthcare for children and their families. The main Thomas Campus, built in 2011 and located in central Phoenix, serves as the academic medical center where the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders is headquartered. The facility's 1.96 million square feet houses the clinical infrastructure, research facilities, and support services that make this a destination for pediatric subspecialty care across the Southwest.
Walking through the Thomas Campus, you will find a facility designed specifically for pediatric care, from the scale of equipment and furnishings to the child-friendly environment that helps young patients feel less anxious about their medical experiences. The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders operates from a new building that opened in March 2024, located just 20 feet from the main hospital. This purpose-built space provides state-of-the-art clinical facilities for your BMT program while maintaining immediate access to the hospital's full resources.
