title: Phoenix Children's Hospital expands to meet rapid growth. This Cinderella story has a happy ending.
abstract: The need for a children's hospital has grown quickly, along with the rapid rate of growth of the city of Phoenix. When Phoenix Children's Hospital outgrew its existing space, it built a new facility--which is now one of the 10 largest children's hospitals in the U.S. A variety of media and events was used to invite community-wide participation in the development of the project, which opened officially in April.
