The mission of Blythedale Children’s Hospital is to improve the health and quality of life of children. Founded in 1891 and based in Westchester County, Blythedale serves over 2,000 children in the New York City region each year, treating children of all ages and backgrounds through inpatient care, outpatient and day hospital services, and community-based therapy. More than two-thirds of our inpatients are from low-income households in New York City, and we serve all families regardless of their ability to pay.  Our multidisciplinary team has the expertise to improve the outlook for children who have a wide range of medical conditions and physical trauma, such as brain injuries, cancer, cerebral palsy, organ transplants, ventilator dependency, burn recovery, and rare diseases that no other specialty hospital in New York is equipped to handle. Blythedale is also the only children’s hospital in New York State with its own public school district on site, ensuring that our young patients can experience childhood in as normal a way as possible.
