At Connecticut Children’s, our physicians are changing the way children with Crohn’s disease are treated.  We’re also home to the nation’s first pediatric integrative transplant clinic.  These distinctions are just two reasons U.S. News & World Report ranked Connecticut Children’s among the best in the nation in the new 2017-18 Best Children’s Hospitals rankings. Connecticut Children’s ranked in four specialties: Gastroenterology & GI surgery, Nephrology, Cardiology & Heart Surgery and Urology. The latter two rankings are for joint programs shared with Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital.
