Nurturing the champion in every child

CHoR earns elite Level 1 verification for children’s surgery

We’re one of only 30 verified children’s surgery centers in the country and the 10th on the East Coast to attain this highest level of designation.

“Whether a child is coming to us for something as simple as a hernia repair, or as complex and coordinated as trauma surgery or addressing congenital malformations – whether they’re 2 days or 17 years old – it’s a big deal for us and for their families. No matter what a child’s surgical need, we’re prepared to treat them 24/7/365,” said David Lanning, M.D., Ph.D., co-surgeon-in-chief of CHoR and interim chief medical officer for VCU Medical Center.
