All Children's Hospital,
Your Child's Hospital

All Children's Hospital is a leading center for pediatric treatment, education and research. All Children's provides specialized care for children of all ages, from newborns through teens. It is one of two freestanding children's hospitals in the state of Florida, and the only one on Florida's west coast. Patients come to All Children's from throughout Florida and from many other states and foreign countries.

All Children's Hospital was founded in 1926 as the American Legion Hospital for Crippled Children. Today it is a 216-bed teaching hospital affiliated with the University of South Florida College of Medicine. More than 140 pediatric specialists and subspecialists provide state-of-the-art medical and surgical care for children. They work closely with specially trained nurses, therapists, pharmacists and other caring professionals who understand the medical, social and emotional needs of each stage of childhood and adolescence. Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit accommodates 60 premature and at-risk infants. Two pediatric intensive care units provide critical care staffing to children who are acutely ill and patients who are recovering from complex surgeries.

In 1999 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recognized All Children's pediatric heart transplant program as the most successful such program in the country based on waiting time to transplant and survival at one year from listing. The Hospital also has well established programs in bone marrow transplantation and kidney transplantation.

All Children's is recognized nationally as an outstanding clinical center in many other areas, including pediatric cancer, immunology, cystic fibrosis, cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, genetics, cleft palate and craniofacial disorders.

Of course, All Children's provides expert care for kids with routine medical problems, too. Two-thirds of the surgeries performed yearly in our eight operating suites are outpatient procedures. Our Short Stay Unit makes it possible for many children to have surgery or diagnostic procedures without the anxiety and expense of an overnight hospitalization.
