Sick or injured kids require special care. When your child is a patient at a CHAT member hospital, they will be treated by specialists who have dedicated their careers to treating children’s diseases and conditions. Comprehensive children’s hospitals, from the board to the CEO to the medical staff, live and breathe children’s health care all day, every day.
Not every “children’s hospital” is a comprehensive children’s hospital – even if a hospital treats children. Children’s hospitals give your child access to vital pediatric specialties for any injury or illness. Our hospital staff have pediatric-specific training, expertise, equipment and a focus on family-centered care so your child has the best experience and outcome.
