MassGeneral Hospital for Children has been providing pediatric care since 1821, longer than anyone in Boston. The hospital has a rich history of compassionate care and innovation including the first use of ether as an anesthetic agent in 1846 and the first application of nitric oxide for babies with pulmonary hypertension in the twentieth century.
Today, MassGeneral Hospital for Children is one of the premier children's hospitals in the world, with physicians and surgeons in virtually every specialty and subspecialty of pediatric medicine as well as access to all the resources of Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School's largest teaching facility and one of the world's leading academic medical centers.
The MassGeneral Hospital for Children Virtual Tour allows you to see 360-degree views of many areas in the hospital, including our state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, opened in June of 2006; the Howard D. Ulfelder Healing Garden; inpatient rooms; and the Yawkey Center for Outpatient Care.
