Our founding promise to the community is as valid today as it was
over a century ago: we will care for all children in our region,
regardless of the families' ability to pay. Together, we deliver
superior patient care, advance new discoveries and treatments
through pediatric research, and serve as the pediatric and
adolescent, academic medical center for Washington, Alaska, Montana
and Idaho - the largest region of any children's hospital in the
country.

Children's among the nation's best children's hospitals - for the
27th year in a row. We received national rankings in all 10
specialty areas evaluated by U.S. News & World Report, and are
honored to be the only pediatric medical center in Washington to be
ranked.
As a Magnet designated institution, and classified among America's
best large employers by Forbes, we recognize the importance of
hiring and developing great talent to provide best-in-class care to
the patients and families we serve. Our organizational DNA takes
form in our core values: Compassion, Excellence, Integrity,
Collaboration, Equity and Innovation. Whether it's delivering
frontline care to our patients in a kind and caring manner,
practicing the highest standards of quality and safety, or being
relentlessly curious as we work towards eradicating childhood
diseases, these values are the fabric of our culture and community.
The future starts here.
