The Children’s Tower is a full-service, comprehensive home for our nationally ranked programs and exceptional teams who are passionate about meeting the unique health care needs of children.” “Today, we have the immense pleasure of delivering on that promise. “For decades our community has been asking for a children’s hospital that matches the caliber of care provided by the pediatric experts at CHoR, and we committed to making it happen,” CHoR president Elias Neujahr, MHA, MBA, said.
The children’s emergency department opened at 5 a.m.
