Each year, there are more than 80,000 patient visits by infants, children and young adults. We’re one of the leading centers of pediatric care—not only in the greater New Jersey and New York area, but in the entire nation.
From our neonatal intensive care unit to our dedicated pediatric emergency room to our world-renowned pediatric oncology department, our team of specialists—who treat children and children only—respond immediately. Every medical or surgical specialty a child could need is promptly at his or her bedside.
We’re proud of creating an environment of healing and nurturing that enables us to care for both the child and his or her family. Because you’ve shared our vision and helped us build this center of excellence, you’ve touched the lives of thousands of children. And for this, we’re extremely thankful.
