More on Children's Hospital Boston
Description from Wikipedia:
Children's Hospital Boston is a children's hospital located in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area of Boston, Massachusetts.
Located at 300 Longwood Avenue, Children's is adjacent both to its teaching affiliate, Harvard Medical School, and to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. (Dana-Farber and Children's jointly operate Dana-Farber/Children’s Hospital Cancer Care, a 60-year-old partnership established to deliver comprehensive care to children with and survivors of all types of childhood cancers.) In 2008, for the 19th year in a row, U.S. News & World Report rated Children's Hospital Boston one of the nation's top two hospitals specializing in pediatric care. Children's also ranked in the top 4 of all subspecialty categories: #1 in heart & heart surgery and in digestive disorders; #2 in cancer care and neurology & neurosugery; #3 in neonatal care; and #4 in respiratory disorders. Children's was the first stand-alone pediatric hospital in New England to be awarded Magnetstatus by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
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. Its Advanced Fetal Care Center can begin interventions at 15 weeks gestation, and in some situations--e.g., congential heart disease and strabismus--Children's treats adults.
The International Center at Children's Hospital Boston serves patients from more than 100 countries including coordination of visits, medical records, travel, accommodation, and immigration.
