McMaster Children’s Hospital ranked one of the best in the world
Children in Hamilton and the surrounding region have access to one of the best pediatric hospitals in the world. Newsweek recently ranked McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH) within their top 100 pediatric hospitals list – fifth in Canada, and second in Ontario behind Toronto’s SickKids, which was ranked number one in the world.
“We’re incredibly proud, humbled and honoured to be recognized on this distinguished list of elite pediatric health centres,” says Bruce Squires, President of McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH), and VP of Women’s and Children’s Health at Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS). “This acknowledgement is a direct reflection of the talented, compassionate and expert teams across McMaster Children’s Hospital who work tirelessly to provide the highest-quality patient and family-centred care to our community every day. MCH has a long history of providing the most innovative, specialized and comprehensive care for critically ill children, youth and mothers, and we’re privileged to continue carrying this legacy forward.”
MCH has been providing care to children from across the region since 1988. Here, patients ranging in age from infancy to 17 receive care through a family-centred approach that accounts for the child’s emotional, mental and physical well-being.
The hospital is home to the fastest-growing kids-only emergency department in Ontario, one of Canada’s most advanced neonatal intensive care units, and a range of programs and clinics with unique expertise in a number of areas including children’s cancer, digestive diseases, and mental health.
