Delivering leading-edge clinical care is a hallmark of Riley Children’s Health. As we embark on our second century of serving children in Indiana and beyond, we remain committed to advancing research and treatment in pediatric healthcare. That’s why we’re proud to once again be ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the nation. For 2025 – 2026, 11 out of 11 Riley specialties are ranked by U.S. News & World Report , with three programs—Nephrology, Pulmonology and Urology— named among the top 10. From the exam rooms and operating rooms of Riley Children’s to the laboratories of the Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research , our pediatric health system is strengthened by our partnership with Indiana University School of Medicine. Together, Riley Children’s and IU School of Medicine are national leaders in externally funded research, forging discoveries that lead to new treatments for the most challenging and complex childhood diseases and conditions. At the forefront of innovation, Riley Children’s is a leader in advancing care. Highlighting just one remarkable example, earlier this year our fetal surgeons and maternal fetal medicine specialists performed Indiana’s first successful in-utero repair of myelomeningocele, a severe form of spina bifida. Providing this kind of exceptional care depends on two things— patients and families who trust Riley Children’s and a skilled team steadfastly committed to caring for children. We’re fortunate to have both. Our team members are the reason families put their trust in Riley Children’s. Their expertise and dedication have earned elite recognition from groups such as the American College of Surgeons and the American Nurses Credentialing Center. In treatment, research and family-centered care, we’re excited about the opportunities and potential of our next century. On behalf of our team, I thank you for your interest in Riley Children’s and our continuing efforts to improve the lives of children in Indiana and around the world.
