It is located on the University of Saskatchewan campus and is connected via corridor to the Royal University Hospital. It is located along the banks of the South Saskatchewan River.

The facility is operated by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. It is equipped with a helipad, used by Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society.

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.
