2010 MARKS THE 140TH ANNIVERSARY of Children’s National Medical Center. Since 1870, the nation’s children’s hospital has served the most vulnerable around us, our children, through care, advocacy, research, and education. Now, our reach has expanded from our immediate community to impact children across the United States and throughout the world. We have built a team of world-renowned physicians known for their clinical expertise. Together our team collaborates in the spirit of innovation to find solutions to advance pediatric health.
