Freestanding children’s hospitals are relatively
rare in the United States: There are less than
50 of them nationwide. What makes them unique
is their ability to apply emerging science, early
clinical advances, and the passion of their
workers to the immediate care of children—
and solely dedicated to children. Without them,
primary care doctors would not have places
to refer patients that require intensive or
specialized treatment.

Hoag Says CHOC Is “The Place”
for Children in Orange County Children’s hospitals operate on a different principle than community or “adult” hospitals for one main reason: Children are not small adults. They are distinct enough, physically, to require doctors and nurses to have specialized medical knowledge, training, and equipment to treat them. |
