Vision and mission
Our vision
Children's Memorial Hospital is guided by the belief
that all children need to grow up in a protective and nurturing environment,
where each child is given the opportunity to reach his or her potential. We
believe this vision can provide a brighter future for all children.
Our vision is
inspired by the courage of children and families. It is sustained by the
extraordinary contributions of compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated staff and volunteers, and built upon a
strong tradition started in1882 of providing unsurpassed health care for children.
Our mission
Children's Memorial Hospital is dedicated to the health and well-being of all
children. As the pediatric teaching facility of Northwestern University's
Feinberg School of Medicine, this commitment drives us to be a leader in:
- Pediatric healthcare delivery;
- Research into the prevention, causes and treatment of diseases that affect
children;
- Education for physicians, nurses and allied health professionals; and
- Advocacy for the general well-being of all children.
As a charitable organization, we serve children and their families to the
best of our abilities and the limits of our resources.
