As part of the University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers, C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital integrates clinical care, education, advocacy, and research to advance the health status of children, their families, and communities statewide. Mott maintains a leadership role in providing a full range of state-of-the-art, family-centered children’s care and specialty services.

We take these words—the words of our mission statement—very seriously at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Welcome to a special edition of Michigan Cares that features a few of the programs that demonstrate our commitment to clinical care, education, advocacy, and research.

This issue features some of the unique ways pediatricians are being trained, a few of the honors that have been awarded for clinical care, a glimpse at the breadth of the research, and an example of how Mott’s advocacy program is impacting politicians and voters. In addition, we share some of the statistics that show our tremendous growth and demand for services.

This growth demonstrates the need for a new children’s and women’s hospital. We have an exciting recent development about that project to announce. Click here for details.

Our mission statement also includes our commitment to a state-of-the-art facility. We are taking next steps toward that goal, and promise further updates on the progress in the next issue of Michigan Cares.
