What Sets Us Apart

Neurology Icon Brain

Pediatric Focused

By focusing solely on pediatrics, our surgeons and staff are experts at assessing the unique treatment needs of children and teenagers. We know how to explain procedures at a child-friendly level and help your child and the entire family feel comfortable going into surgery.

Expert Team

Children’s pediatric surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists and fetal care specialists are here to care for your child’s medical needs. We also have social workers, chaplains and child life specialists to assist with your child’s psychosocial, emotional and spiritual health. These professionals help reduce distress before and after procedures, helping to improve the overall hospital experience.

Minimally Invasive

We are the region’s leader in developing and performing innovative, minimally invasive pediatric surgery. Minimally invasive techniques such as using small cameras and instruments through tiny incisions (less than 5 mm) leads to faster recovery and healing times, less pain and lower rates of infection.

Awards and Honors

Children’s is the only hospital in the region with a Level IV NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) — the highest level of care for babies. We also have a Fetal Care Center where we provide care for mothers and their babies who need special care before birth. We consult with parents, so they know what to expect once their child is born. We can also perform fetal surgery on the baby while it is still in the womb.
