UVA Health Children’s has been ranked as the No. 1 children’s hospital in Virginia for three consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report, making it a top choice for families seeking specialized care for their children. This year, University of Virginia President Jim Ryan completed his 13th run in the Boston Marathon, raising over $52,000 for UVA Health Children’s. The funds raised have now exceeded $100,000, making it Ryan’s most successful fundraising effort to date.
The hospital offers nine specialties that are nationally ranked among the top 50 and provides primary and specialty care in over 30 different areas within Virginia and beyond. It is located within the UVA Health University Medical Center and includes over 110 beds, a pediatric emergency department, a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The Battle Building houses the UVA Health Children’s Ambulatory Clinics, offering integrated outpatient care to families in the region since 2014.
The hospital’s efforts to expand services for children and families include a partnership with Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital to establish the UVA Health Children’s Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Care clinic in Albemarle County, set to open later this year. With its commitment to excellence in care and expansion of services, UVA Health Children’s continues to be a leading provider of pediatric healthcare in Virginia and beyond.
