The name “Children’s Hospital” is an earned recognition. The Hackensack University Medical Center Department of Pediatrics elected to meet the standards of pediatric healthcare as defined by the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions. This means you and your child receive comprehensive medical and surgical pediatric care in more than 30 specialties, all under one roof at The Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center.

Moreover, the name implies a broad spectrum of obligations: excellence in comprehensive pediatric services, user-friendly environments for children and their families, education of future pediatric professionals, and research focused on enhanced treatments and ultimately prevention of pediatric diseases and disorders.

Our recent selection as one of the top 25 Children’s Hospitals in the nation by Child magazine illustrates what we and many in the tri-state area have known for a long time: Hackensack University Medical Center offers the most comprehensive healthcare services for children.
