2025-2026 Renovation Update

We will be renovating the Orthopaedics space at the Main Hospital from November 24, 2025, through April 15, 2026, as part of our commitment to providing exceptional care. This renovation will expand the area, creating a more spacious, efficient and welcoming environment for our patients and families.

During this time, your child’s appointment may take place in another area of the Main Hospital, at our Montgomery County location in Rockville or at our Friendship Heights location in Washington, D.C. Please review your appointment reminders carefully to confirm the correct location. We’re grateful for your patience and understanding as we make improvements to better serve our families.
