Children’s National Hospital, based in Washington, D.C., was established in 1870 to help every child grow up stronger. Today, it is the No. 5 children’s hospital in the nation.
The Children’s National Heart Institute is a multidisciplinary team comprising cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, cardiac intensive care, cardiac nursing and cardiac anesthesia. It is the largest congenital heart program in the Mid-Atlantic region and is a national and international referral center. This diverse patient population offers robust clinical experience in all facets of pediatric and congenital cardiology from fetus to adult. Our research benefits from the resources of Children’s National Hospital—including the Children’s National Research Institute and the Research & Innovation Campus, the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, a partnership with George Washington University. We maintain strong collaborations with the National Institutes of Health’s National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and our Washington Adult Congenital Heart program in collaboration with Medstar Washington Hospital Center. Children’s National is a member of the Pediatric Heart Network and multiple national quality improvement collaborative initiatives.
