Children's Hospital of Michigan
At Children’s Hospital of Michigan, our entire focus is on improving the health and wellbeing of children. This is why we exist and the only thing we do. There’s a big difference in a hospital that also cares for kids—and a hospital that only cares for kids. Children require specialized, personalized care, which is why for 132 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves completely to understanding them and all their unique needs. And why we’ve devoted our lives to caring for children. With more than 40 specialties, the Children’s Hospital of Michigan sees more children and trains more pediatric medical and surgical experts than any other hospital in the state. We offer virtually every specialty service a child may need at convenient locations throughout southeast Michigan, from Canton, Clinton Township, Dearborn, and Detroit, to Novi, Southfield, and Troy. At Children’s Hospital of Michigan, we only have one focus, and one purpose: the health of children.
