Children's Hospital Boston is a 396-bed comprehensive center for pediatric health care. The Children's team advances the care of children globally through new discoveries, training the next generation of pediatric specialists and promoting the health and well being of families in local communities. As one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States, Children's offers a complete range of health care services for children from birth through 21 years of age.

Children's is home to the world's largest research enterprise based at a pediatric medical center, where its discoveries have benefited both children and adults since 1869. More than 1,100 scientists, including 9 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 13 members of the Institute of Medicine and 15 members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute comprise Children's research community.

Children's also is the primary pediatric teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School.

We care for patients from all 50 states and over 80 countries. We care for more low-income and uninsured kids than any other MA hospital.

In the last fiscal year, we recorded approximately 24,971 inpatient admissions and 61,631 ED visits. Our specialized clinical programs scheduled more than 524,780 visits and the hospital performed more than 25,000 surgical procedures.

We were the first pediatric hospital to acquire a surgical robot and the first to install an MRI in our OR.

We were the first to cure leukemia in kids, the first to ever do a successful heart surgery in a child, and more recently the first to perform a successful correction of a heart defect in a fetus.

Our Pediatrics Residency Program through Harvard is one of the country's most competitive.

With 13 locations in and around Boston, the Children's Hospital Network, in conjunction with leading community hospitals, provides convenient access to great pediatric care & the expertise of Children's specialists.
