We are seeking candidates with experience in developing academic clinical programs.

Currently, approximately 300 heart catheterizations (75% interventional) and 300 cardiothoracic surgeries, and 11,000 ambulatory visits are performed each year at Manning Family Children's.

Manning Family Children's is a 263-bed, not-for-profit pediatric medical center offering a comprehensive range of services for children from birth to 21 years, with more than 600 pediatric providers solely dedicated to the care of kids. With an unwavering commitment to child health, we have proudly served as the Gulf South's only comprehensive children's hospital for 70 years - transforming countless lives since we first opened our doors in 1955. Manning Family Children's is proud to provide the highest level of care for children from across the Gulf South. Just last year, we cared for 585,000 children - the most ever in our history.
