Our Sleep Medicine Clinic is moving in June from its current location in Building 3 of the Overlake Medical Pavilion in Bellevue to a significantly larger new space in Building 5. The clinic will be closed from June 15 to 20 for the move.
A new telephone line is now available for providers who have questions about referring to Seattle Children’s outpatient psychiatry and behavioral medicine (PBM). Providers are welcome to use it to find out what services we have available now or may have available soon and ask questions about the referral process or the status of a referral already submitted.
The line is staffed Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Messages will be answered within 48 hours.
The phone line is also open to patients and families who have questions about our PBM services.

As of Thursday, May 13, 2021, Seattle Children’s is offering appointments for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to youth ages 12 to 15, in keeping with FDA and CDC guidance on lowering the age limit for the Pfizer vaccine.

Seattle Children’s is proud to report we have surpassed a milestone of more than 10,000 opioid-free outpatient surgeries at our Bellevue Clinic and Surgery Center.
Seattle Children’s is a national leader in efforts to reduce the use of opioids during outpatient pediatric surgeries, while maintaining or improving pain management and outcomes for patients.
Last spring we shared an interview about this innovative approach with Dr. Lynn Martin, an anesthesiologist and medical director of the ambulatory surgery center at Seattle Children’s.
Same-day COVID-19 vaccines now available on a limited basis each day for eligible Seattle Children’s inpatients, ambulatory patients who are visiting the hospital for an appointment with their specialist and caregivers who are accompanying ambulatory patients to a same-day appointment.

A new study published in Transgender Health found that gender-diverse youth who received gender-affirming healthcare during COVID-19 via telemedicine were satisfied with receiving care virtually. Dr. Gina Sequeira, co-director of the Gender Clinic at Seattle Children’s and the study’s lead author, says the study affirms telemedicine as a way to reduce the barriers to care these families typically experience, such as finding a local pediatric provider who offers gender-affirming care or the expense of trips to Seattle Children’s from distant locations.

Seattle Children’s will continue to serve as a community vaccination site and will offer vaccines through our public portal to all eligible members of the public, as supplies permit.
