Children's Hospital badge

U.S. News & World Report ranks the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein (CHAM) one of the best in the nation for the 19th year in a row. CHAM also continues its leadership in New York City, maintaining its #3 ranking overall. CHAM upheld its long-standing top specialty rankings in New York City, with Pediatric Gastroenterology & GI Surgery and Pediatric Nephrology ranking at #2.

Our nationally ranked specialties have a long history of excellence.

Pediatric Gastroenterology & GI Surgery

CHAM is one of the select few pediatric programs in the region to offer endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the evaluation and treatment of pancreatic and biliary disorders, including the first ERCP performed in an infant in the region.

Pediatric Nephrology

The Ira Greifer Children’s Kidney Center at CHAM is one of the nation’s largest, most experienced and innovative facilities dedicated to caring for children with kidney conditions. The first to treat children with kidney failure and perform the first pediatric kidney transplant in New York State, CHAM’s Children’s Kidney Center now has one of the largest hemodialysis and transplant programs in the region and country.


“I am proud of my colleagues—who compassionately provide the most advanced and specialized care to children with a wide range of health challenges—for their regional and national leadership in their fields. CHAM has ranked as one of the nation’s best since the inception of the U.S. News  rankings 19 years ago.”
