Our employees make the difference, which is why we have been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a top pediatric hospital, for eleven consecutive years.
Children’s Mercy is in the heart of Kansas City – a metro abounding in cultural experiences, vibrant communities and thriving businesses. This is where our patients and families live, work and play. This is a community that has embraced our hospital and we strive to say thanks by giving back.

Our division of Hematology, Oncology, and Blood and Marrow Transplant is large and very clinically active, with over 50 physicians and Advanced practice providers, with a focus on team-based and family centered care.

It will also include protected academic time for service, research, and other scholarly activities. Faculty mentoring is provided for all new faculty members, with additional supports available for those interested in clinical scholarship (e.g., program evaluation, quality improvement initiatives).
