Children’s Vision Statement
Children's National Medical Center will set the standards of excellence for the care of children.
- 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 was 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 a trail to it.
