Monte Kids Hospital Recognized

For the third consecutive year, the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) has received national recognition for its excellence in U.S. News & World Report’s 2010-2011 edition of “Best Children’s Hospitals.”

CHAM ranked eighth in the U.S. for its advanced kidney program and 22nd, nationwide, for its expertise in neurology and neurosurgery.

The hospital serves more than 400,000 children in the Bronx and Westchester County.

“We are honored to be recognized as a national leader,” said the CHAM?Physician-in-Chief, Philip O. Ozuah, M.D. “Every day I get to observe the unique talent out doctors, nurses and staff have with children; for our talent and our organization to be ranked amongst the very best in the nation is a wonderful milestone and a really proud moment.”
