About Us | Awards & Accolades

Every day, families look to Boston Children's for answers, treatment, and hope. And every day, you inspire us to meet that challenge by seeing beyond the limitations the rest of the world places on what’s possible. You inspire us to believe that we can — and must — do more for every child in our care. Our goal is to always be a leader for your child and for child health everywhere.

To that end, we’re honored that multiple independent organizations continue to recognize our leadership and excellence in pediatric health, some of which are shared here.

Ranked among the best pediatric hospitals in the nation – and the world.

For example, Newsweek recently began ranking what it calls the world’s best specialized hospitals, which includes pediatric hospitals. Boston Children’s has been named Newsweek’s “World’s Best Specialized Hospital” (pediatrics) for 2025, topping the list of 250 children’s hospitals around the globe.

Likewise, in 2011, U.S. News & World Report created its “Best Children’s Hospitals” Pediatric Honor Roll, which lists the top ten highest-ranked hospitals in the nation. This year, as in all years past, Boston Children’s is on that Honor Roll.

But hospital rankings are just one piece of the puzzle. Other organizations have also recognized Boston Children's as a leader in several different areas.
