About This Cause
Boston Children's Hospital is a 395-bed comprehensive center for pediatric health care. As one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States, Children's offers a complete range of health care services for children from birth through 21 years of age. (Services can begin interventions at 15 weeks gestation and in some situations we also treat adults). The hospital has approximately 25,000 inpatient admissions each year and the 200+ specialized clinical programs schedule 557,000 visits annually. In 2014 the hospital performed more than 26,500 surgical procedures and 158,700 radiological examinations. Boston Children's is also home to the world's largest research enterprise based at a pediatric hospital. More than 1,100 scientists comprise our research community, including 9 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 11 on-staff members of the Institute of Medicine and 9 members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Current initiatives have attracted a record $225 million in annual funding, including more federal funding than any other pediatric facility. In the John F. Enders Pediatric Research Laboratories, named for the Boston Children's Hospital researcher and Nobel Prize recipient who cultured the polio and measles viruses, hundreds of laboratory researchers and physician investigators search for answers to some of the most perplexing diseases. Through the years, scientists at Boston Children's have set the pace in pediatric research, identifying treatments and therapies for many debilitating diseases, including those of adulthood.
