All Children's Hospital is a Pediatric hospital located in St. Petersburg, Florida
It is the only freestanding children’s hospital on the state's Gulf coast. It has consistently ranked among America’s top 25 children’s hospitals in comparative studies done by Child Magazine, which rated All Children's Hospital as the best in Florida in 2007. All Children's has also garnered Most Outstanding Business awards from the Tampa Bay Business Journal and the Greater St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce.
The mission of this private, not-for-profit hospital is rooted in its beginnings as Florida’s first Crippled Children’s Hospital for polio victims. All Children’s understands that it’s not enough to treat disease—that true progress comes from teaching and research to cure disease. All Children’s shares its pediatric expertise through research and education affiliations with the University of South Florida (USF Health) as well as the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute.
All Children's Hospital became synonymous with academic pediatrics when Robert A. Good became Physician and Chief. The University of South Florida's Dean of Medicine Andor Szentivanyi recruited Robert A. Good and increased USF's presence at All Children's to mollify opposition to a Tampa Children's Hospital.
As a regional referral center for children with some of the most challenging medical problems, All Children’s draws patients from throughout Florida, all 50 states and 36 foreign countries. Growing regional demand is such that construction is now underway on a new hospital and outpatient center to replace the current 40-year old facility. When this $800-million project is completed in January 2010, it will represent nearly a million square feet of space dedicated to state-of-the-art pediatric healthcare.
