The Stanford Advantage

Kids are not just small adults. Their growing bodies require a different health care approach and the right equipment. Stanford Children’s Health is Northern California’s largest pediatric and obstetric health care network dedicated exclusively to children and expectant mothers. Our full focus is on tailoring care to these patients while paying special attention to what matters most for them, from non-invasive procedures and innovative pain management techniques to a family-centric approach in every aspect of care.

Our physicians are experts in every pediatric specialty. Ranked in all 10 pediatric specialties by U.S. News & World Report, we are in the top 10 for neonatology, pulmonology, and diabetes and endocrinology. We have one of the leading heart programs in the nation, as well as one of the nation’s leading programs for treating children with disorders of brain development, function and behavior; and we are a national leader for pediatric organ transplants.

Our team of physician-scientists from Stanford University School of Medicine collaborate to advance treatments that allow us to successfully treat many children with complex cases that could not be resolved elsewhere. This experience underpins the care we provide every child and expectant mom, whether their condition is routine or rare.

We are one of the world’s leading research universities as well as a top-ranked academic medical institution and the teaching hospital for Stanford School of Medicine. With access to some of the best minds in medicine, science and innovation, we transform discoveries into life-saving medical firsts and groundbreaking advances, such as repairing disorders in the smallest hearts or pioneering new surgical technologies to suit the unique needs of children. From gene therapy to nut allergies, our clinical research is helping move the needle from treatment to preventative care. Our patients benefit from the world-class scientific research and discoveries that come from Stanford.
