Children's National Hospital Vision Statement

Children's National Hospital Child-Centered Vision

By incorporating feedback from our families, we have developed our first child‐centered vision, which looks at the hospital experience through a child’s eyes:

Healing a child’s body, mind and spirit takes more than medicine: It takes a team to fulfill a family’s dream
My hospital is a bright and happy place that feels like home
My providers, my family and I are a team, and everyone's job is important
The way my hospital works is built around me
My providers don't all look alike
My hospital is my family's connection to everything I need for my health, whether they provide it or blaze trail it
