America’s Best Children’s Hospitals 2012-2013
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the U.S. News & World Report publication of America's Best Children’s Hospitals 2012-13, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford has received the highest rankings of any children’s hospital in Northern California.
In the annual survey online today (5) at U.S. News.com/childrenshospitals, Packard Children’s is the only Northern California children’s hospital with programs ranked in the nation’s Top 10, with both Cardiology & Heart Surgery and Nephrology receiving this recognition. Additionally, high rankings in Gastroenterology, Neonatology and Pulmonology enabled Packard Children’s to place five programs in the Top 20, again more than any other children’s hospital in the region.
Other specialties making the list include Diabetes & Endocrinology, Urology, Cancer, Neurology & Neurosurgery, and Orthopedics. Packard Children’s is the only Northern California children’s hospital receiving recognition in all 10 pediatric specialties surveyed by U.S. News.
The U.S. News honor adds to a growing and varied list of recent highlights for Packard Children’s, including:
Preparation for a new 500,000 sq. ft. expansion that includes additional patient beds and diagnostic capabilities that will create the most family-friendly children’s hospital in America.
Global recognition for the successful separation of two-year-old conjoined twins.
Leading research on non-genetic factors playing a role in determining autism risk.
Lifesaving pacemaker implementation on the smallest newborn ever to receive one.
The formation of a collaborative relationship with California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco to substantially increase children’s access to highly specialized inpatient hospital care.
The America’s Best Children’s Hospitals survey is based on a methodology weighing a blend of reputation, outcome and care-related measures such as volume, nursing care, advanced technology, credentialing and more. A detailed description of the methodology can be found online here.
“The U.S. News survey reflects the wonderful regional and national reputation we’ve built in our relatively young history,” said Christopher G. Dawes, president and chief executive officer at Packard Children’s, who noted that Packard Children’s opened in 1991. “These rankings are a very nice distinction and confirmation of our dedication to children and expectant mothers. We proudly share this success with our faculty, staff and community.”
