A healthier future
Did you know?
Children’s hospitals are at the heart of advancing children’s health — from prevention and primary care to the most complex, lifesaving treatments. Children’s hospitals are just 5% of all hospitals in the United States and treat nearly half of all hospitalized children. When we put kids first, we strengthen the hospitals that make these advances possible, ensuring every child has access to the expert care they deserve.
Where we make a difference:
Complex Pediatric Care
Children’s hospitals are where the most complex pediatric care happens such as pediatric cardiovascular surgeons operating on a child’s heart the size of a walnut.
Cancer Treatment
Children’s hospitals provide 95% of life-saving inpatient cancer treatment for children across America.
Specialized Treatment
Children’s hospitals are often the only location in an entire state or region of the country where the sickest children can receive the lifesaving care they need.
Pediatric Training
Children’s hospitals educate and train a majority of pediatricians and pediatric specialists to care for kids at all stages of development.
Valued Care
Of the 6,000 hospitals across the country, 200 CHA member hospitals, are the primary places of specialized hospital care for all children
Community Engagement
Children’s hospitals offer services such as food pantries, mobile health clinics, and wellness initiatives for children and teens in communities across America.
