• We will serve as the voice for the most vulnerable among us: our children. 
• We will lead the quest to cure some of childhood’s most devastating diseases.
• We will prepare the nation’s future leaders in child health.
• We will be the children’s hospital against which all others are measured.

Children’s Child-Centered Vision

By incorporating feedback from our families, we have developed our first child-centered vision, which looks at the hospital experience through a child’s eyes. Healing a child’s body, mind and spirit takes more than medicine: it takes a team to fulfill a family’s dream.

• My hospital is a bright and happy place that feels like home.
• My providers, my family, and I are a team, and everyone's job is important.
• The way my hospital works is built around me.
• My providers don't all look alike.
• My hospital is my family's connection to everything I need for my health, whether they provide it or blaze trail it.
