Vanderbilt Anesthesiololgy

Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt has been named one of seven pediatric “Top Hospitals” in the nation for providing excellent patient safety in an annual survey by The Leapfrog Group. Children’s Hospital is the only facility from the Southeast to be included in this prestigious list.

This is a testament to the hard work of Children’s Hospital staff and faculty, including members of the Pediatric Anesthesia Divsion and Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia Division. The survey included stringent requirements for everything from infection control and injury; to computer data order entry and safety protocols; to surgical efficiency and staffing levels.
