Children’s hospitals champion children’s health, creating healthy futures

Children’s hospitals play a central role in advancing the health of all children. From prevention to critical care, children’s hospitals meet the health care needs of children 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Children’s hospitals also provide a disproportionately large share of the nation’s health professional’s training and research aimed at producing the best possible medical outcomes for kids.

Working in and with communities, children’s hospitals lead health improvement initiatives for children that yield long-term benefits, including a healthier adult population and workforce, and countless costs avoided by early intervention in—or even prevention of—chronic health problems.
