Join Us in Supporting #ChildrensHospitalsWeek

To celebrate the amazing things being done at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, we’re inviting you to join us March 5-11 in celebrating #ChildrensHospitalsWeek.

Lurie Children’s is ranked as the top pediatric hospital in Illinois and #7 in the U.S. The main hospital is located in downtown, but Lurie Children’s also operates a network of 13 outpatient centers and 15 partner hospitals, providing top pediatric care across the greater Chicago area. Lurie Children’s relies on philanthropic support to care for nearly 209,000 children each year.
