Levine Children’s Hospital Turns 15
CELEBRATING
Levine Children’s Hospital
Since Levine Children's Hospital opened its doors in 2007, we have evolved into a destination for care. From groups partnering to bring clinical trials and heart care to Levine Children’s, to attracting a consortium that has ramped up our cancer research efforts, the community has provided unwavering support. Our infrastructure, staff, technology, and research innovations all have been touched by philanthropy. Fifteen years later, thanks to this generosity, Levine Children's continues to receive national recognition for its pediatric care and is ranked among U.S. News & World Report’s Best Children's Hospitals in eight pediatric specialties.
