Child Magazine Names C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital One of Ten Best Children’s Hospitals in U.S.

A national survey of children’s hospitals in the February issue of Child magazine lists the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital among the top 10 children’s hospitals in the U.S. The top 10 children’s hospitals were selected from among the 178 hospitals that are members of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions. Criteria included quality of physicians and nurses, survival rates of common childhood cancers and amount of government research funding the hospitals receive. Each of the 10 hospitals was asked to name a physician on their staff who is an outstanding representative of their facility. Mott named Steven M. Donn, M.D., who led a series of clinical trials showing that a new ventilator allowed premature babies to breathe on their own earlier than did older types of ventilators. Alexa Canady, M.D., a leading pediatric nuerosurgeon and a 1975 graduate of the University of Michigan Medical School, was the choice of Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit.
