Clinical areas of support

Since the merger of Children's Hospital on Brook Road with VCU Health in 2010, support from the community has propelled significant growth in the programs and services that are available at Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU. CHoR has more than 200 pediatric specialists in more than 50 specialties, ensuring that children in our region and beyond have access to a full spectrum of care.

The tremendous impact of philanthropy is seen every day through the transformative moments that happen within CHoR's walls and also through the awards and certification the hospital has received from a variety of outside organizations. Thanks to our community for continuing to support us and allow CHoR to keep climbing higher.
