Carolina Alumni Review - May/June 2012

Once again, North Carolina Children’s Hospital was ranked among the top 10 children’s hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report. And for the second year in a row, we are the only children’s hospital in North Carolina to receive a top 10 ranking. In fact, N.C. Children’s Hospital ranked in six out of ten U. S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Children’s Hospitals” ranking categories, including a top 10 ranking in pulmonary and lung disorders. And that is something to cheer about!

Kudos to all of our physicians, researchers, nurses and staff members who are the crucial building blocks of our health care system. Because of your unprecedented Commitment to Caring™, our hospital can be called one of the nation’s finest.

We are certainly proud of how we stack up compared to children’s hospitals across the country, but we are most proud of our ability to bring the best care in the nation to the children of North Carolina.
