Children’s National
Committed to Children in our Community and Around the World
Children’s National Health System, based in Washington, D.C., has served the nation’s children since 1870. Children’s National is the nation’s No. 6 pediatric hospital and, for the third straight year, is ranked No. 1 in newborn care, as well as ranked in all specialties evaluated by U.S. News & World Report.
We aim to help all children grow up stronger by excelling in Care, Advocacy, Research and Education.
Care
At Children’s National, our goal is not simply to cure illness, but to care for each child’s entire well-being. Children require complex care tailored to their unique needs. Our facilities, equipment, specially trained staff, Child Life programs and family-centered approach enable us to treat the whole child effectively and compassionately.
Advocacy
When public health emergencies threaten the well-being of children, Children’s National is their voice. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Washington, D.C., to guide discussions on children’s health, Children’s National is leading efforts to identify the current and future needs of children and increase conversations with the public, the medical community, and our world’s leaders that lead to action. We work tirelessly to ensure that the health needs of children are heard.
Research
We envision a healthy future for every child. Right now, Children’s National researchers are pushing the boundaries to redefine what a diagnosis means to a child and their family, bringing us closer than ever to new solutions and treatments that will help children grow up stronger.
Our new Children’s National Research & Innovation Campus, opening in 2020, will be a global hub of innovation in the heart of Washington, D.C. It will be a place where government, industry and academic partners can work side-by-side with us to drive new findings and deliver improved care for children and their families.
Education
Education is itself a specialty at Children’s National. We understand that it takes the world’s best trained pediatric doctors and nurses to provide kids the specific, highly specialized care they need. That’s why we’re one of the top destinations for medical students, residents and experienced doctors looking to learn from the best, to become the best at treating children.
