UVA Health Children’s: A Pediatric Powerhouse Advancing Healthcare for Virginia’s Kids

University of Virginia President Jim Ryan recently presented a check for $52,000 to UVA Health leaders after completing his 13th run in the Boston Marathon. The funds were raised for UVA Health Children’s, which has been ranked as the No. 1 children’s hospital in Virginia for three consecutive years by U.S. News & World Report. Over 1,000 individuals contributed to the fundraising effort, supporting this top-ranked hospital that offers nine specialties that are nationally ranked among the top 50.

UVA Health Children’s provides primary and specialty care in over 30 different areas within Virginia and beyond. It is located within the UVA Health University Medical Center and includes over 110 beds, a pediatric emergency department, a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The Battle Building houses the UVA Health Children’s Ambulatory Clinics, offering integrated outpatient care to families in the region since 2014.

The hospital’s efforts to expand services for children and families include a partnership with Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital to establish the UVA Health Children’s Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Care clinic in Albemarle County, set to open later this year. With its dedication to providing exceptional care for children and families across Virginia, UVA Health Children’s continues to be a leader in pediatric healthcare in the region.
