Children's Mercy Hospital Ranked Among Nation's Top Pediatric Hospitals in all 10 Specialties
Those pediatric specialties include: cancer, cardiology, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, neonatology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology
This year, U.S. News surveyed 184 pediatric centers to gather clinical and operational data. This data was then combined with results from a reputational survey in which board-certified pediatric specialists representing the 10 specialties were asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty.
"Being listed among the nation's best in all 10 specialties is no small feat and clearly demonstrates that we're among the finest children's hospitals in the nation," says Dr. Randall O'Donnell, President and CEO of Children's Mercy. "But we aren't done yet. Much more can and will be accomplished as we continue to practice, teach and research the best ways to deliver quality pediatric care and provide the best outcomes possible for our patients and families."
