Parents Magazine is out with their list of the 10 best children’s hospitals in the country.  If you have or have had a sick child you know the importance of being near a good children’s hospital.  Having a hospital that has kids on their mind all the time can make a big difference in the care your child receives.  The doctors, nurses, specialists, equipment, decor, etc are all put in place with kids in mind so that our littlest citizens receive the best possible care.

Here is the list of the 10 best hospitals in the country (I have included links to each hospital so you can learn more about them):

1. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
2. Children’s Hospital Boston
3. Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
4. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
5. St. Louis Children’s Hospital
6. Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio
7. Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston
8. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
9. Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, Cleveland
10. The Children’s Hospital, Denver

It sure gives me a lot of piece of mind knowing I have one of the best children’s hospitals in the country in my own back yard.  In fact a former co-worker of mine had to use their services when her baby was born 3 months early.  The staff of St. Louis Children’s Hospital were miracle workers and today that tiny preemie is a very healthy 3 year old!

Thanks to Parents magazine for putting out this list and to all these hospitals for all the work they do on behalf of our children.  Keep up the great work, you truly are miracle workers.
