This is a picture I took of the Cincinnati Children's ancillary location in Liberty Township near Cincinnati, OH. They just went live and it was great! It is an awesome facility!

For the first time, Cincinnati Children’s is among the five best children’s hospitals in the United States, according to Child magazine’s prestigious 10 Best Children’s Hospitals survey. 

Child magazine named Cincinnati Children’s the fifth best children’s hospital overall in the United States, fourth in neonatal care and fifth in cancer care. We also ranked among the best in the nation for all other pediatric subspecialties that Child magazine rated -- eighth in emergency care, ninth in cardiac care, ninth in orthopedic care and 11th in pulmonary care.

The results of Child’s fourth exclusive survey to identify the nation’s top 10 children’s hospitals appear in the February 2007 issue of the magazine, on newsstands nationwide soon. Child’s Top 10 Children’s Hospitals survey is perhaps the most comprehensive and scientific available, based on strict criteria and data gathered by the magazine during an extensive nine-month investigation.

“We are delighted to learn that Cincinnati Children’s was ranked so highly in the Child magazine survey,” says James M. Anderson, president and CEO. “It’s particularly gratifying because the ranking is based on comparative analysis of detailed, comprehensive data. The outcome is a tribute to the intensive work Cincinnati Children’s has done over the last five years to transform health care delivery. From our trustees to our frontline staff, we are all sharply focused on providing the best possible medical and quality of life outcomes and patient and family experience.” 

The 247-question Child magazine survey, guided by leading pediatric experts, examined vital medical information, including survival rates, number of complex procedures and intricate surgeries conducted, volume of research studies, efforts to reduce medical errors, and quality and training of doctors and nurses. The survey also included child friendliness, support for families and community involvement.

Child magazine sent the survey to 116 full members of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions in August 2005. Seventy-six hospitals completed the survey. Child magazine graded the responses to determine best hospitals overall and leaders in six subspecialty areas.

“Cincinnati Children’s exemplifies what makes a children’s hospital a top-10 hospital,” says Miriam Arond, editor-in-chief of Child magazine. “These qualities include excellent outcomes and an experience for patients and families that would make them want to return to the hospital for care. The Cincinnati Children’s focus on improving patient safety and transforming the way care is provided makes it one of the very best pediatric institutions in the United States.”

“The care at Cincinnati Children’s is phenomenal,” says Micki Shea of Covington, whose son Allen was treated for cancer at Cincinnati Children’s and is now cancer free. “We have access to state-of-the-art treatment,” she says. “Everyone at the hospital is responsive: doctors, nurses, technical people. Most of all, everyone is focused on us as a family and getting us through difficult times.”
