THE UNDISPUTED LEADER IN CHILDREN’S HEALTH CARE IN MID- AND NORTHERN MICHIGAN

For over 30 years, Hurley Medical Center has provided the very best clinical care for our region’s children and their families. Now we would like to introduce Hurley Children’s Hospital – a pediatric hospital within Hurley Medical Center offering the highest level of children’s medical care, centrally located in Flint.

"Hurley Medical Center has the most advanced specialists, treatments and technology to care for the complex healthcare needs of our region. In order to continue to provide our infants, children and adolescents with the very best physicians, nurses, and clinical care available, we are launching Hurley Children’s Hospital, destined to be the premier pediatric medical facility in the region and the state” said Patrick Wardell, Hurley Medical Center President and Chief Executive Officer.

STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES, TREATMENTS AND TECHNOLOGY

The true mission of Hurley Children’s Hospital, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital®, is to transform the lives of children and their families everywhere in the region. Whether your child is in an accident or struggling with asthma, diabetes or cancer, we have assembled a team of exceptional pediatric specialists, nurses and staff, and have equipped them with today’s most advanced technology. We also offer programs to help keep kids healthy and safe so that they never have to come to the hospital.

LEADING THE WAY – TODAY AND INTO THE FUTURE

At Hurley, we know that children are our future and we have built Hurley Children’s Hospital for them. Now more than ever, Hurley is ready – today and tomorrow –  with the region's only Level 1 Trauma Center, Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Pediatric Emergency Area, Burn Unit, and nationally-recognized Asthma Disease Management Program.
