Unlike pediatric services offered by general community hospitals, Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital is a dedicated pediatric hospital with experts who offer a depth and breadth of high quality care that is not available at any other institution in the region. As a leading academic medical center that is the primary teaching hospital of Case Western Reserve University, we offer cutting-edge therapies to area children long before they’re available nationwide. When a child’s life is in the balance, there is simply no better facility in the area.

Our staff of more than 850 physicians, nurses, child life specialists, social workers and other professionals is devoted solely to pediatric medicine and surgery, and includes more nationally recognized pediatric specialists than any other hospital in Ohio. Our experts are regarded by pediatricians across the country as among the best in the nation – and in some specialties, the best in the world. Rainbow’s 244-bed facility serves as both a primary care facility for children of the Cleveland metropolitan area and a principal pediatric referral center for Ohio and the region. Many of the infants, children and adolescents referred to Rainbow have complex medical and surgical problems that require hospitalization for diagnosis and treatment.

In all, about 10,000 newborns, infants, children and adolescents are admitted annually to Rainbow. Children are cared for in a facility especially designed for the unique care of children. Rainbow’s new eightstory patient care tower, opened in 1997, is one of the most advanced, family-centered pediatric hospitals in the nation. Named the “Leonard and Joan Horvitz Tower,” the 190-bed “kid-friendly” facility, built as an extension of the existing hospital, combines 21st century medical technology with a warm, supportive environment conducive to healing. The hospital’s ambulatory clinic and children’s emergency care center serve more than 100,000 children each year. These facilities provide both primary and specialized ambulatory care.
