Now Open: A New Home for Cleveland Clinic Children’s

A long-standing dream has been realized. Cleveland Clinic Children’s is now able to provide most pediatric ambulatory services under one roof.

Cleveland Clinic Children’s new home is in the former four-story Taussig Cancer Center on Cleveland Clinic’s main campus. The expansion unites both primary and specialty outpatient care in one convenient, coordinated environment better equipped to manage Cleveland Clinic Children’s 750,000+ patient visits. Children requiring hospitalization or complex care will continue to receive treatment within the M building on Cleveland Clinic’s main campus.
