The hospital is part of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Both buildings are connected by a tunnel. However, the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital has its own identity and character.

The main hall was designed as if directly out of the imagination of a child with a tilted ice ceiling, a forest of slanting pillars that support a hanging garden. Adults are also treated in the hospital.

In short, the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital is a safe haven for the most vulnerable children, where professional care is offered in a warm environment, where even adults feel at home.
