Your Child’s Surgery
WCCHN links expertise, resources and facilities from five internationally-renowned children’s hospitals under one regional umbrella, allowing for better collaboration, expanded capabilities and improved access to specialized care.
For parents and families, this means assurance that their child is receiving the best possible care from the most experienced experts. For healthcare providers, this means expanded care options and the ability to do more for patients who require subspecialty care. For hospital sites, this means access to resources that complement their own and the ability to link expertise to specific patient needs. For the children who rely on all of us, this means better care, the best possible outcomes and support through the challenges along the way.
Behind Every Number is a Story.
