Our faculty
Across the Department of Pediatrics and throughout CHoR, our faculty are dedicated to teaching, mentoring, and advancing pediatric medicine. They bring a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and expertise—serving not only as clinicians and researchers but also as advocates and educators. Their shared mission is simple but powerful: to ensure every child receives the best possible care, regardless of background or circumstance. This commitment shapes both how we care for patients and how we train the next generation of pediatric leaders
Our facilities
At CHoR, pediatrics is at the center of everything we do. With the recent opening of state-of-the-art facilities—including a newly completed inpatient tower in 2023—we’ve created a campus where children and families are cared for in a space built entirely around their needs. Spanning an entire city block, our facilities reflect our unwavering dedication to pediatric health and wellness.
