This year, we are pleased to announce thatpediatric cardiology,pediatric diabetes and endocrinology, andpediatric pulmonology and lung surgerymade the list of top specialties. These rankings are based on clinical data, including patient safety, infection prevention and nurse staffing, as well as responses from more than 15,000 pediatric specialists about where they would send the sickest children in their specialty.
We’re honored to receive this recognition, but we are even more proud to support the health of children in our community every day. And, we’re pleased to be able to provide this specialty care for patients right here in center Pennsylvania, close to home.
The ability to receive the full spectrum of high-quality care close to home makes the difference for families with seriously ill children. It was especially critical for 14-month-old Bristol, who experienced a cardiac arrest at her babysitter’s home and was flown by Life Lion to the Children’s Hospital. With the help of a pediatric heart team whose surgical outcomes are among the best in the country, she underwent lifesaving surgery right here in central Pennsylvania and spent five weeks in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, followed by one week in an inpatient pediatric rehabilitation program. Today, her heart functions normally, and she is a happy, healthy five-year-old.
