We’re the region’s only hospital staffed with pediatric subspecialists, who, along with highly-trained pediatric surgeons, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and child life professionals, have devoted their careers to working with children. We know that providing the best in children’s health care takes more than special equipment or training – it takes viewing the world from the unique perspective of children and understanding what they need. Creating this special environment of healing for all children, regardless of their ability to pay, is the daily and ultimate goal of everyone at Children’s Hospital at Erlanger.
