The Children's Hospital

Saint Peter's University Hospital has long been recognized as one of New Jersey's leading health care facilities for infants and children. We are one of only eight designated children's hospitals, and we are the only hospital in central New Jersey certified to treat both seriously ill children and high-risk newborns. Our nursing excellence has earned us recognition as a magnet hospital, and we are a member of the exclusive Council of Women's and Infants' Specialty Hospitals.

Caring for More Children

We care for more children and babies than does any other children's hospital in central New Jersey. Approximately 9,000 children are hospitalized at Saint Peter's every year, and more than 45,000 seek care in our emergency and outpatient facilities annually. All these young patients receive the most advanced and comprehensive pediatric health care available.

Medical Education and Training

As a major teaching hospital, Saint Peter's is at the forefront of the latest research, treatments and procedures. Through our affiliation with Drexel University College of Medicine and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), our pediatric residents are constantly expanding their skills to provide patients with care using the latest medical techniques.
