Children's Hospital Boston was established as a hospital for low-income children in 1869, and we have grown from 20 beds to our current 397 beds. For 140 years, we have been delivering on our vision of advancing pediatric care with an impressive list of medical advances, from the first successful remission of leukemia in 1947 to our more recent successful correction of a heart defect in a fetus. We are New England's regional referral pediatric center and a safety net hospital for the most critically ill children and those from low-income families. We partner with the community to address the most pressing health care needs in our surrounding neighborhoods. The hospital trains more pediatricians and has the largest research program of any other pediatric hospital. As a not-for-profit, all of the hospital's resources go toward supporting these goals.
Children's invested $91.8 million in fulfilling its community benefits mission in FY08. The chart here shows how this $91.8 million has been invested.
