Welcome to the place where kids come first. From our beginning in 1882, our focus has been exclusively on children's health and well-being. This singular purpose allows us to focus on children by continually seeking and providing the most advanced technology, treatment and medical expertise available. Our affiliation with Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine ensures that your child will be cared for by some of the most prominent experts in the field of pediatric medicine.
At Children's Memorial, we are dedicated not only to treating specific illnesses and injuries, but also to recognizing and addressing the impact they have on the entire family. We practice family-centered care . As health care providers we strive to work in partnership with you for the well-being of your child. This means involving you in the planning, delivery and evaluation of the care your child receives.
Children's Memorial offers many resources to patients and their families. We developed this portion of our Web site to help you understand who will be caring for your child, the range of services available to you and how to access them. Children's Memorial staff is dedicated to caring for your child's needs. We are available to answer your questions and make your outpatient visit, inpatient stay or surgical procedure as comfortable as possible.
