Established in 1983, Phoenix Children’s Hospital provides hope, healing, and the best healthcare for children. With a medical staff of almost 1,000 pediatric specialists, it offers the most comprehensive pediatric care available in the state, and has become one of the leading pediatric healthcare systems in the country. The Hospital’s Centers of Excellence have grown in size and expertise to place them on par with some of the most prestigious of their kind in the United States.

Phoenix Children’s has been named to U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children’s Hospital list for the ninth year in a row. The health system remains Arizona’s only children’s hospital to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report and is one of only 24 children’s hospitals in the United States to make the list in all 10 surveyed specialties for 2019 – 2020.

Phoenix Children‘s Hospital continues to build capacity as a world-class institution, and the Foundation also is positioning itself for accelerated growth. The Foundation team is 70 people strong and will continue to expand over the next couple of years with a goal to double philanthropy by 2021. In 2017, the Hospital Foundation embarked on a five-year, $250 million comprehensive campaign. Tracking $10 million ahead of the plan, the Foundation raised $92 million in its first two years and is on target to raise $55.3 million in 2020.
