Great Leaders Advocate for Child Health

Children’s hospitals need singular leaders to realize the vision of improving health care for all children. Leaders of these specialized institutions face demographic, competitive and financial challenges unique to their mission and the times. Among their greatest challenges are treating chronic childhood conditions despite routine under-reimbursement; training the nation’s future pediatricians and keeping children and family issues front-and-center in health reform.

Witt/Kieffer brings an in-depth understanding of child health issues – and the distinct needs of these complex organizations – to the search for children’s hospital leaders. Our years of experience working closely with children’s hospital trustees and senior management teams have resulted in a deep appreciation for what these organizations require in exceptional leadership.
