Best Hospitals for Pediatric Care

When it comes to pediatric care, the best hospitals not only need to deliver safe, high-quality care, but they must also be staffed by experienced pediatricians and providers who are excellent communicators.

Money’s 2026 list of the best hospitals for pediatric care zeroes in on these factors — plus favors facilities that are well-equipped to deal with pediatric emergencies. While not a ranking factor, we also graded how transparent each hospital is with its publicly listed prices.

In total, 75 hospitals made the cut, each one vetted by Money staff.
