Layton Construction has completed the Loma Linda University Children's Health Specialty Clinics, a five-story outpatient pavilion in Loma Linda, California, according to an October 7 report. The project aims to bring more than 20 pediatric specialties under one roof to serve families in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
The 105,000-square-foot facility is intended to address a significant shortage of pediatricians in the area. According to The American Board of Pediatrics, San Bernardino County has over 2,200 children per pediatrician, which is approximately 1,000 more children per physician than the state average.
Kris Jenson, a manager for Layton Construction, stated that the clinics will deliver high-quality healthcare by consolidating multiple specialties that were previously spread throughout the community into a single location. The project is being built adjacent to the Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, which is the only stand-alone pediatric facility in the area and sees 1.2 million children annually.
The new pavilion will offer a variety of services, including orthopaedics, cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology, pulmonology, spina bifida care, and pediatric general surgery.
Jenson noted that Loma Linda University Health has been a long-term partner and client of Layton Construction, and expressed honor in continuing that relationship through this project which is intended to support the community for many years.
The Loma Linda University Children's Health Specialty Clinics is scheduled to open to patients in early 2027.
