About Children's Hospitals

 

 

When it comes to health care, kids are different

Did you know?

Children are vulnerable. Kids make up the largest segment of the U.S. population living in poverty.

Children need health care designed for their unique needs—involving families from start to finish—that is delivered by specially trained clinicians in environments designed just for kids.
As patients, children require:

• Medication dosing and equipment sized for kids
• Extra time, more monitoring and tailored communications
• Compassionate caregivers who understand kids’ physical, mental and behavioral development
• Institutions committed to advancing children’s health and health care
