Why it matters

Before now, getting a child admitted for hospital-level pediatric care meant leaving Davis County entirely. The new unit lets kids get that same level of care while staying near home and family.

By the numbers

  • 8 beds in the new unit
  • 24/7 staffing by pediatric hospitalists and nurses
  • 1st dedicated pediatric unit in Davis County

Between the lines

The unit treats a wide range of conditions, from asthma, bronchiolitis, and RSV to dehydration and post-surgical recovery. The space itself was built with young patients top of mind, favoring a softer, more welcoming design over a typical clinical setup.

What’s next

HCD leadership and the Davis Chamber of Commerce marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the hospital’s main entrance.

Holy Cross Hospital – Davis is part of CommonSpirit Health.
