Our Department

The Department of Plastic and Oral Surgery has a significant amount of clinical, research, and administrative space throughout Greater Boston. Our approximately 100 staff members use this space to carry out the daily work needed for the Department to be successful in our clinical, research, and educational missions.

Our clinical space is anchored in Boston and includes a dedicated outpatient clinical space in addition to the dozens of operating rooms and inpatient facilities available at Boston Children's Hospital. BCH also has several satellite offices throughout the Greater Boston area. The Department has a significant presence at the Boston Children’s Hospital Waltham campus which includes dedicated outpatient clinical space and operating rooms appropriate for less complex patient care. These satellite facilities allow us to offer care to patients in their local community.

In 2022, Boston Children's Hospital opened our newest clinical site, the Hale Family Building. The 11-story building strengthens our commitment by enabling enhanced, more efficient care for the benefit of patients, families, and the teams who deliver and support that care. The building features:

• state-of-the-art NICU at Mayo Family Newborn Medicine Center with 30 beds that replace open bays with private rooms, including a space for a family member to sleep at the bedside
• 150 single inpatient rooms that provide privacy, quality, safety, and comfort for patients and families
• expanded high-tech environments that improve integration within the surgical floors, such as an enhanced interventional radiology suite and hybrid operating rooms; 15 operating rooms that enable innovative technologies to support surgeons as they tackle the most complex cases and solve tomorrow’s challenges
• info-sharing hubs to streamline clinical collaboration by spurring discussions, reviewing observations, and fostering innovation
• more green and open space offering peace, tranquility, and respite both indoors and outdoors
• state-of-the-art clinical lab featuring an open-floor concept and the first automation line of its size for a pediatric hospital
