AB According  to  the  National  Association  of  Children's  Hospitals  and  Related  Institutions  (NACHRI)  (2009),  “Children's  hospitals  are  the  most  specialized  and  regionalized  centers  of  care  for  children  in  the  United  States.  They  provide  the  majority  of  highly  specialized  inpatient  care  for  children  with  complex  and  rare  conditions.”  The  majority  of  children's  hospitals  are  nonprofit  organizations  that  help  train  one-third  of  all  pediatricians  and  over  50%  of  all  pediatric  specialists.  They  are  premiere  institutions  focused  on  quality  patient  care  and  innovative  research,  and  advocate  health  promotion  and  injury  prevention.
