BC Children’s is ranked among the top pediatric hospitals in the world and is one of the only facilities in North America with an acute care centre, research institute, rehabilitation and developmental assessment centre, and mental health services all in one place. Each year, the hospital treats over 125,000 patients, including the sickest and most seriously injured children.
 
 BC Children’s serves a pediatric population of close to one million kids across more than one million square kilometres, the largest geographic region of any children’s hospital in North America. Over 50 per cent of patients come from outside the Vancouver Coastal Health region. The hospital also offers travelling and virtual outreach clinics and expanded telehealth programs to bring care closer to home.
 
 More than 4,000 medical experts, including 2,000 research professionals, work at BC Children’s to tackle the most complex health challenges facing children and youth. The hospital is a global leader in pioneering breakthroughs that transform pediatric care. It was the first Canadian hospital to implant a new type of pacemaker in a newborn baby, launched the Clinical Trials Super Hub to ensure children have timely access to cutting-edge clinical trials, and leads the world in discovering rare diseases that have been completely unknown to medicine. These transformative “firsts” are reshaping how children are treated, here and around the world.
