What Makes The Children’s Hospital All Better?

It Starts With Our Mission, Established in 1908

To improve the health of children through the provision of high-quality, coordinated programs of patient care, education, research and advocacy.

We Carry That Mission, That Desire to Exceed, Through to Our Vision

The Children's Hospital will be the leader in providing the best healthcare outcomes for children. We will be the driving force, in partnership with others, in providing children and their families with an integrated pediatric healthcare delivery system. We will be a national leader in pediatric research and education.

We'll Stand By Our Values in Everything We Do

So, what do a mission and a vision have to say about treating your child? A lot. Because while you didn’t sit down and write a mission statement when you became a parent, you surely realized the importance of your new role. Having the responsibility and care of another’s life, another’s future, can feel daunting. And, ultimately, incredibly rewarding. That’s why you’ll find everyone at The Children’s Hospital takes to heart their role—their responsibility in the care of a child’s health and well-being. We’ll stand by our values in everything we do:

• Quality Patient Care and Safety - High-quality, safe medical care for children

• Customer Service - All staff working together to provide coordinated services

• Innovation - Use of ideas and research to improve clinical and operational quality

• Employee Excellence - Motivated, talented staff dedicated to high-quality service

• Family Centered Care - The family is a valued member of our healthcare team
