Expansion makes Seton Pediatric Center nation’s largest for subacute care

The Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center in Yonkers will celebrate the grand opening of its 32-bed expansion for ventilator-dependent children at 11 a.m. Thursday in the residential treatment center at 300 Corporate Blvd. South.
The $24 million construction and renovations project, which began in fall 2015, added a three-story, 26,000-square-foot building to the 5-year-old center, expanding its space to 201,000 square feet. With the expansion, the center cares for 169 medically complex and technology-dependent children, making it the largest provider of children”™s subacute care in the U.S.
Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of New York, the nonprofit Seton center in 2006 was the first pediatric facility in the state to develop a long-term program for children who are dependent on ventilators. The center in 2012 relocated from Manhattan to the newly built, $138.5 million facility on a 6.5-acre campus in South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers.
