At the heart of St. Luke's Children's Hospital is the belief that all children should have access to the highest quality health care services available, regardless of their condition or their family's ability to pay. Like all children's hospitals, St. Luke's is committed to high quality, cost-effective clinical care, advocacy for children and families, education, and research.

Children often have very different health care needs than adults. When they are hospitalized, they require more intensive nursing care and other services than adults. And when they are very sick, children require regional centers of care that can bring together all the specialists they need. At St. Luke's Children's Hospital, we care for more than 50,000 children every year. More than 140 skilled pediatricians and pediatric specialists work with referring physicians from around the region to provide high quality care for our young patients. They are joined in this effort by a staff of over 400 nurses, therapists, and a variety of other dedicated pediatric caregivers.

St. Luke's Children's Hospital has earned the trust and respect of thousands of children and their families, and we honor that trust as we help children heal. Every day our health care specialists renew their commitment to deliver the best, most compassionate care to the children of our region.
