On June 15, U.S. News & World Report published its 2021-2022 Best Children’s Hospitals rankings, and we are very pleased to share Johns Hopkins All Children’s, an Innovation District anchor organization, tied for #1 Best Children’s Hospital in Florida. Congratulations!
“With the world focused on health, medicine and science, we are honored to be recognized for the broad range of expert care we offer to this community and its children and families,” says Thomas Kmetz, president of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. “It is humbling to think that an organization formed to fight a national polio crisis more than 90 years ago now stands amid a pandemic at the forefront of care for kids in Florida and beyond.”

TMS is a breakthrough technology that has helped thousands of individuals treat, and even overcome their depression when traditional treatments like medication and talk therapy have not provided enough relief.
Kudos to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital for breaking ground on a new hospital in Wesley Chapel. We are excited to see them bring specialized pediatric care closer to home for families north of Tampa Bay.
