About Us

What does it mean to be the only health system in the state that cares exclusively for children? It means we’re devoted — to kids, and to the belief that every single one of them deserves a healthy, happy childhood. That’s what drives us to be the experts, to have the most specialists in the most disciplines. It powers our special brand of care: compassionate, family-focused and made just for kids. It also moves us to do the right thing, to advocate for the wellbeing of all young people, in our hospitals, our community and beyond.

• One of the largest freestanding pediatric health systems in the United States — with two hospitals, nine primary care clinics, seven rehabilitation and nine specialty care sites.
