Cincinnati Children's Named to Top Five by Child Magazine
Child magazine recently named Cincinnati Children's among the top five best children's hospitals in the United States. The medical center also was ranked fourth in neonatal care and fifth in cancer care in the magazine's 10 Best Children's Hospitals survey. The survey results appear in the February 2007 issue of the magazine. James M. Anderson, president and CEO, says, "This is particularly gratifying because the ranking is based on comparative analysis of detailed, comprehensive data. The outcome is a tribute to the intensive work Cincinnati Children's has done over the last five years to transform health care delivery."

- Have questions answered
- Tour Same Day Surgery, the Operating Room and
the Post Anesthesia Care Unit - Learn what to expect on the day of surgery
