Transforming Children’s Lives: Clinical Excellence, Discovery

Children’s hospitals within university medical centers have a sacred mission – transforming the lives of children through clinical, teaching and research excellence. Despite increasing competitive and financial pressures, children’s hospital leaders safeguard institutional stability, maintain strong relationships with pediatricians, specialists and other medical staff and collaborate with medical schools and research institutes to find cures, provide outstanding care and ensure childhood wellness.

Witt/Kieffer consultants have completed nearly 100 searches for children’s hospitals. Our academic medicine consulting team knows national leaders in child health, and what it takes to succeed in a children’s hospital setting. We tailor each search based on client interviews at the start of the assignment, and use original research, our best-in-class data base and a rigorous process to evaluate and vet a slate of outstanding candidates.
