CHoR again ranked among the nation’s best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report
U.S. News & World Report’s 2021-22 Best Children’s Hospitals rankings have been released, and CHoR has again been named among the country’s top 50 hospitals in caring for kids.
Congratulations to Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU!
CHoR was recognized in four pediatric specialties — urology (#28), pulmonology (#30), nephrology (#42) and cancer (#50), and "ranked higher in urology and nephrology than last year and landed at #10 out of all children’s hospitals in the Mid-Atlantic region, which includes Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and West Virginia."
The Best Children's Hospital rankings were started in 2007 and designed to help children with rare or life-threatening illnesses find the best medical attention in 10 pediatric specialties. We are especially thrilled for the Division of Urology, Pediatric Urology surgery team on this well-earned accomplishment!
