About Children's Pavilion

CHKD is Virginia’s only freestanding, full-service children’s hospital and serves the medical needs of children throughout Coastal Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. The not-for-profit CHKD Health System operates primary care practices, surgical practices, and multi-service health centers throughout this region. In 2022, CHKD opened Children’s Pavilion, a 60-bed hospital offering inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization care to address the pediatric mental health crisis facing our youth. The 14-story tower on CHKD’s Norfolk campus is hub to a robust mental health outpatient program. Other routine services in the building, such as sports medicine and primary care, help destigmatize mental health care within the pediatric population.
