 For cutting edge research

We are a beacon of light in a parent's darkest night.

We are where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do more science, more quickly. Where doctors across the world send their toughest cases and most vulnerable patients. Where no one pays for treatment beyond what is covered by insurance, and those without insurance are never asked to pay. We've built America's 3rd-largest health-care charity, with a model that keeps the costs down and the funds flowing, so the science never stops.

We are a legendary hub of achievement and accomplishment. We were, in fact, the first to cure the most common form of childhood leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), helping to drive the cure rate from 4% in 1962 to over 80% today. We've recently pioneered a unique procedure allowing children to receive a life-saving bone marrow transplant from a parent without an exact marrow match. We are home to the team currently pioneering the development of a new, multi-envelop HIV vaccine designed to combat all the natural strains of the virus, and the only pediatric health facility in the world to build our own on-site facility to manufacture highly specialized life-saving drugs.

Peyton Conway March:
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else.

Albert Einstein:
It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.

Anne Frank:
No one has ever become poor by giving.

Barbara Bush:
Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.

Charles Dickens:
Charity begins at home and justice begins next door.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning:
God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers,
And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face,
A gauntlet with a gift in it.

John D. Rockefeller Jr.:
Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege.

Anticipate charity by preventing poverty; assist the reduced fellow man, either by a considerable gift or a sum of money or by teaching him a trade or by putting him in the way of business so that he may earn an honest livelihood and not be forced to the dreadful alternative of holding out his hand for charity. This is the highest step and summit of charity's golden ladder.


Maya Angelou:
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.


Pamela Glenconner:
Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.

Thornton Wilder:
Money is like manure; it's not worth a thing unless it's spread around encouraging young things to grow.

Winston Churchill:
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

KAHLIL GIBRAN
You give but little when you give of your possession .
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.


Only kids. Only Phoenix Children's Hospital.

At Phoenix Children's Hospital, we know that children aren't just small adults. Their bodies are entirely different. That's why there is a special branch of medicine (pediatrics) just for them.

There are several benefits to kids-only hospital care. Learn why this kind of care is important.

Children's developmental, emotional and physical needs all play a part in their health. Our nationally acclaimed Child Life program uses specialists who ease children's fears through therapeutic play and open discussion. We coordinate special events and programs that encourage social interaction. We create a lively environment where kids can be kids.

At Phoenix Children's Hospital, we ask children how we can make the hospital a better place for kids and their families. They've given us lots of good advice over the years, such as ways to make procedures less painful, how to make treatment rooms look less scary, and how to better respect their privacy. Our new hospital allowed us to act on their suggestions about how a children's hospital should be designed. The result is a uniquely child-friendly environment with bright colors, special artwork and recreation spaces for kids of all ages.

Taking care of sick children means caring about the entire family. Our family-centered care philosophy encourages parents to be part of the health care team. We know it's important for parents to be involved in making decisions about their child's care. We address the special needs of siblings, too.

Everyone who works at Phoenix Children's Hospital is devoted to one important mission: providing hope, healing and the very best care possible to children and their families.

Families love Phoenix Children's. Read their letters.
