CHKD Children's Pavilion

CHKD expanded its mission to encompass mental health with the addition of Children’s Pavilion. The 14-story tower on the Norfolk campus celebrated its topping off August 11th, 2020. Along with primary care and sports medicine outpatient services, the Pavilion has provided outpatient mental health care since April 25th, 2022 with inpatient psychiatric available later this year. The Pavilion also offers unique features such as indoor and outdoor recreation areas, art and music zones, education and training rooms as well as room to grow.

Promoting diversity and inclusion

Our training program diligently recruits diverse residents and esteems the unique value everyone adds to our residency family, our healthcare system and our community.

We believe medical training includes learning and teaching how to stand firm in opposing hatred and violence, thus empowering us to proudly serve Hampton Roads' diverse population, which includes minorities, economically disenfranchised individuals, transgender youth, immigrants and global refugees.
