 Renowned
for its outstanding clinical services, Children’s Hospital of
Pittsburgh has helped establish the standards of excellence in
pediatric care. From Ambulatory Care to Transplantation and Cardiac
Care, talented and committed pediatric experts care for infants,
children and adolescents who make more than 400,000 visits to
Children’s and its many neighborhood locations each year.
Children’s also has been named consistently to several elite lists of
pediatric healthcare facilities, including ranking seventh among
children’s hospitals (FY 2004) in funding provided by the National
Institutes of Health, and one of the top 10 pediatric hospitals in the
country by Child Magazine in 2005.
Founded in 1890, Children’s is the only hospital in western
Pennsylvania dedicated solely to the care of infants, children and
young adults. At Children’s, care is provided by more than 700
board-certified pediatricians and pediatric specialists. Children’s
also provides primary care and specialty care at accessible locations
throughout the Pittsburgh region, as well as clinical specialty
services throughout western Pennsylvania at regional healthcare
facilities.
With 260 beds, Children’s delivers among the most technologically
advanced procedures for rare, complex diseases as well as progressive
treatments for common childhood ailments, such as ear infections and
asthma. Children’s healthcare professionals understand that sick and
injured children deserved to be treated by those specially trained to
care for them – rather than by adult specialists with limited
pediatric experience. And at no time is any child turned away.
Children’s continues to expand upon their already world-renowned
clinical care and research efforts to provide the best care to all
children. A new, state-of-the-art, comprehensive pediatric healthcare
campus is currently being built in the Lawrenceville section of
Pittsburgh. Pediatric research will be conducted in the new
230,000-square-foot research center – which is more than twice the
size of the current research center. From pediatric trauma care to
transplantation, Children’s is pioneering the techniques and therapies
that will save the lives of future generations of children.
