The 80,000 square foot Victor Yacktman Children's Pavilion is the site of outpatient pediatric services at Advocate Children's Hospital. The pavilion is linked by an indoor walkway to the Advocate Children's Hospital inpatient units. Interactive art, sculptures, and bright geometric patterns create a kaleidoscope effect throughout the interior of the Pavilion, providing comfort for children and their families. At Yacktman, we care for over 16,000 children, representing diverse cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.

As part of the Chicagoland Children’s Health Alliance, Advocate Children’s Hospital and Pediatrics at NorthShore University HealthSystem have joined together to provide personalized care coordination services for children and families. Together, we work to understand the families and children behind a condition and meet their needs more fully. In 2019, we opened a state of the art outpatient center in nearby Wilmette, Illinois. This clinic is home to our pediatric-only immediate care, multidisciplinary clinics, outpatient lab, radiology and pediatric therapies.
