Pediatric Surgery
Surgery Day
Due to space constraints, we request only two adults
accompany each child. Adult attention should be
concentrated on the child having surgery; therefore,
other children should not accompany the family. You
must be at the facility at the time instructed or risk
delay or cancellation of your child's scheduled surgery.
Please take into consideration possible delays due to
traffic or unexpected circumstances when you are making
your arrangements to come to the facility.
If your child has a favorite blanket, toy or cup, you may
bring it with you. Please do not bring valuables as we
are unable to assume responsibility for them. Please
bring socks or slippers for your child to wear.
Driving Directions and Parking
The day before your child's scheduled surgery, you will be advised to go to either Wolfson Children's Hospital or to the Children's Ambulatory Center at Baptist Outpatient Center. (Click here for a
campus map
showing both locations.)
-
Wolfson Children's Hospital is located along the south bank of the St. Johns River in the heart of Jacksonville. Our facility is located on the campus of Baptist Medical Center Downtown (800 Prudential Drive) and is easily accessible from Interstate 95. Click here for
Driving Directions to the hospital.
Parking at Wolfson Children's Hospital is free of charge. A five-story parking garage on Palm Avenue serves Baptist Medical Center
and Wolfson Children's Hospital. The garage is open 24
hours a day, and it has an elevator that provides easy
transport to the medical center and hospital. If assistance
is needed, you may call Baptist Medical Center's Security
Department at 202-1355.
-
Children's Ambulatory Center is located in the Baptist Outpatient Center (1235 San Marco Boulevard) at the southeast corner of San Marco Boulevard and Gary Street. Free parking is provided adjacent to the building.

Driving Directions to the Baptist Outpatient Center.
When you and your child arrive at the facility, we will
ask your child to change into a hospital gown and will
then check his or her temperature, pulse, blood pressure,
height and weight. To help occupy your child until time
for surgery, we provide a play area. For the
comfort of your child as well as other children, no food
or drink is allowed in the waiting area.
When the time for
surgery arrives, we will escort you and your child to a
holding area where you will meet the anesthesiologist
and operating room nurse.
