As Indiana’s only comprehensive children’s hospital,
Riley Hospital provides medical care for the most challenging of
pediatric patients nationwide. NACHRI rates the level of severity
of disability, illness, injury, or chronic health condition for Riley
Hospital’s pediatric patients as the highest of any children’s
hospital in the country. Twenty of Riley Hospital’s pediatric
physicians were recognized as top specialists in the current issue
of America’s Top Doctors. Riley Hospital’s neonatal
intensive care unit was recently named one of the top five NICUs
in the United States by Child Magazine. The hospital is recognized
as the nation’s best performer in outpatient satisfaction by Arbor
Associates. The primary teaching site for the Department of
Pediatrics of the Indiana University School of Medicine, which educates

Community Outreach
Riley Hospital’s Community Education and Child Advocacy Department leads the hospital’s statewide, regional, and national outreach to children and families. The Department advocates for children through education programs and resources, trainings, partnerships, and public policy that support Safe Children, Healthy Children, and Strong Families. A national champion for injury prevention education for all children, the hospital recently opened the Safety Store, the nation’s first to provide injury prevention education to families as a requirement before they are given child safety products. The Safety Store offers child safety products for all children, including children with disabilities.
