British Columbia's Children's Hospital

British Columbia Children's Hospital provides specialized medical services for children from birth to age 16 across the largest geographic region of any children's hospital in North America.

The hospital originated from a fund for disabled children established by the British Columbia Women's Institute in 1923, with the first patient admitted at Hudson Street in 1928.

The facility houses the Sunny Hill Health Centre, offering developmental assessments and rehabilitation programs for children and youth throughout British Columbia and neighboring territories.

The emergency department handles 49,000 patients annually, operating continuously with wheelchair accessibility and specialized pediatric care units for intensive treatments and surgeries.

Scientists at the hospital can replicate a child's heart cells for research using only one drop of blood, leading to advancements in treating congenital heart defects.
