The facility is operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. It is equipped with a helipad, used by Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society. It includes a pediatric intensive care unit and a neonatal intensive care unit.[2] The facility's Child Life Zone was created through a partnership between Garth Brooks' Teammates for Kids Foundation and the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation.

The facility is named after Canadian business magnate Jim Pattison after a $50 million donation was announced in May 2017[3] by then Premier of Saskatchewan Brad Wall.
