Children’s Hospital of Richmond
VCU Medical Center and Children’s Hospital have joined together, forming Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHoR), a full-service children’s hospital that offers a robust continuum of pediatric services, research and education.
CHoR has 10 locations in the Richmond area and Fredericksburg, and it provides a comprehensive scope of services including emergency, primary, secondary, advanced tertiary, rehabilitative and long-term care. Children in Central Virginia can benefit from the widest range of pediatric services – from well-child checkups to the only Level 1 Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in the area. CHoR offers 149 pediatric beds and a full complement of specialized medical/surgical services, along with a comprehensive range of therapy services.
With nearly 1,350 full-time and 1,200 part-time employees who provide nationally recognized care to children, CHoR has the largest number of pediatric specialists, therapists and nurses in Central Virginia. As part of the VCU Health System, CHoR is the only training program in the Commonwealth of Virginia that educates medical, nursing and dental students, pediatric residents and subspecialty fellows, advanced practice nurses, pediatric psychologists, and pediatric therapists.
