Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics continues redefining pediatric medicine throughout the Midwest and around the world.

We are the only free-standing children's hospitals between St. Louis and Denver and provide comprehensive care from birth to 21 years of age. Children's Mercy consistently is ranked among the leading children's hospitals in the nation, and we were the first hospital in Missouri or Kansas to earn the prestigious Magnet designation for excellence in patient care from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Starting with a single bed in 1897, Children's Mercy has grown into the pediatric specialty provider of choice for families throughout the region. As a not-for-profit hospital, we provide millions of dollars in charity care each year. We are nationally recognized for our innovative, family-centered environment focused on the unique needs of hospitalized children and their families.
