Valley Children's Healthcare began as the vision of five civic-minded women who saw the need for a dedicated pediatric hospital in Central California. For 70 years, Valley Children's Healthcare has grown from a 42-bed hospital in 1952 to a 358-bed, nationally respected pediatric healthcare network today.
With more than 670 physicians and 3,500 staff, Valley Children’s delivers high-quality, comprehensive care to more than 1.3 million children in our service area.
Valley Children’s Healthcare – one of the largest pediatric healthcare networks in the nation – provides Central California’s only high-quality, comprehensive care exclusively for children, from before birth to young adulthood. With more than 670 physicians and 3,500 staff, Valley Children’s delivers high-quality, comprehensive care to more than 1.3 million children in our service area.
Our network offers highly specialized medical and surgical services to care for children with conditions ranging from common to highly complex at our 358-bed stand-alone children’s hospital which includes 28 regional NICU beds. In addition, the Valley Children’s Healthcare network includes specialty care centers, pediatric primary care practices, and women’s health services.
Our family-centered, pediatric services extend from a leading pediatric cancer and blood disorders center home on the West Coast, and a pediatric heart center known for its expertise and pioneering treatments, to a Regional Level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the highest level referral center between Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
Valley Children’s was recognized seven years in a row by U.S. News and World Report as one of the “Best Children’s Hospitals” in the nation for various specialties. We are the first children’s hospital west of the Rockies to receive Magnet Nursing designation, the highest nursing benchmark in the world. These awards demonstrate our commitment to excellence in quality patient care and innovation.
In affiliation with Stanford University School of Medicine, Valley Children’s Pediatric Residency and fellowship programs also provide first-class training for the next generation of pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists.
Valley Children’s main campus sits in the heart of one of the most beautiful states in the nation, just a short drive from three national parks and your choice of California coastline beaches. No matter your interest, you will have many opportunities for recreation, arts, entertainment, and more.
