Memorial Hospital for Children was founded upon the belief that all children need a hospital just for them. They have unique developmental, emotional and physical needs. So, their care is best when it's targeted and specialized.

We are a National Association of Children's Hospital and Related Institutions (NACHRI) designated and nationally recognized children's hospital. This means we provide the best and brightest medical professionals, nationally and internationally recognized programs, the most advanced care and technology and a complete range of pediatric specialties.

Our Philosophy/Values

• Founded upon a belief that all children need a hospital just for them

Future Growth

With the debut of a children’s hospital within Memorial Health System, in December, 2007, we opened a 300,000 square foot addition to Memorial Hospital Central at 1400 E. Boulder. This addition is now home to our expanded and centralized children's services—Memorial Hospital for Children, as well as enhanced women’s/maternity services and an Emergency Department.
