Opened in 2001, Montefiore's state-of-the-art children's hospital is the center of our Child Health Network. This unique approach to children's health services links the expertise and technology of a world-class hospital - staffed by leading specialists in all areas of pediatrics - with an extensive network of community-based primary care. We are the hospital of choice for children across the New York region and for families across the globe seeking the most advanced medical procedures.

World-renowned expertise

Montefiore's cutting-edge technology allows for the most sophisticated diagnostic and treatment options. Our roster of expert physicians and surgeons providing pediatric specialty care is outstanding. The Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) is world renowned for our innovative approaches to highly complex medical challenges and for the extraordinary staff and dedication to carry them through--evidenced most recently by the successful separation of twin boys conjoined at the head.

Ranked one of America's best children's hospitals

The Children's Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) has been ranked one of the top children's hospitals in the nation by the prestigious U.S. News & World Report 2008 edition of America's Best Children's Hospitals. CHAM was ranked 28th out  of 143 hospitals nationwide in its first year of eligibility.

Putting young patients at ease

CHAM is set up solely for the care of children, with their every need in mind. Our doctors and nurses are all trained in pediatrics and understand how to put young patients at ease. Even the building's discovery theme and educational network--complete with a colossal pendulum hanging from the lobby ceiling and space-exploration decor on every floor--helps take the anxiety out of being in a hospital.

Family-centered care

At Montefiore, we understand that a child's illness affects the entire family. We partner with each family to determine a young patient's best course of treatment and recovery plan. Our special programs and services ensure that every child and family feel comfortable and well cared for--from respecting their cultural customs and beliefs, to addressing a child's educational or emotional needs.
