Most kids have no more than the usual assortment of childhood medical mishaps and never go beyond the ER if they spike a fever or the outpatient clinic for tests. But there's always that "what if." Many thousands of children every year do need expert care. What do you do if your child has a heart defect, or a disorder that interferes with digestion? Out of all of the roughly 5,000 U.S. hospitals, only about 1 in 30 has deep expertise in caring for children with serious problems. For youngsters who need that quality of care, the Best Children's Hospitals rankings showcase the medical centers that see kids every day who have cancer, cystic fibrosis, defective hearts, and countless other life-threatening or rare conditions beyond the capabilities of most hospitals, even those with sizable pediatric departments.
A small number of hospitals—eight this year—ranked in all 10 specialties and make up the 2010-11 Best Children's Hospitals Honor Roll. They are in alphabetical order.
Childrens Hospital Boston continues to lead the way in Pediatrics. From its cutting edge research, great staff, to its outreach in the community (as well as being the hospital Curious George goes to) Childrens show how to do it. We have worked closely with the staff there in the operating rooms in use of our RFID systems. In fact, they pioneered our RFID tissue tracking system. We want to thank them for being such tremendous partners!
