Important Matters Awards Best Hospitals for Pediatrics South Florida Parenting
These hospitals stand out for pediatric care. MIAMI-DADE COUNTY GOLD Miami Children's Hospital 3100 SW 62nd Ave., Miami 305-666-6511 www.mch.com Miami Children's Hospital shows its creativity above and beyond other hospitals. The focus here is solely on the children. The staff works tirelessly to make the experience less traumatic for every little patient. Performing clowns and strolling dogs give children a reprieve from the medical treatments they are going through. Radio Lollipop, an in-house station, plays tunes to help children get through the day. Kids can also play in a colorfully decorated playroom. But entertainment isn't the reason that our readers -- and parents of Miami Children's Hospital's patients -- swear by this place. The quality of care is second to none, with top pediatric specialists in every field on staff. SILVER Baptist Medical Center 8900 N.
