Message from the Chair & Chief, Pediatrics
The Department of Pediatrics at McMaster University and McMaster Children’s Hospital is home to over 200 pediatricians, scientists, teachers, and trainees whose collective mission is to improve the well-being of children and their families – both locally, and around the world.
Our mission is underpinned by values of collaboration, innovation, compassion, and respect. This culture informs the way we engage, and the result is a supportive and vibrant academic environment where, we believe, almost anything is possible.
Our faculty contribute to 19 divisions that reflect the comprehensive spectrum of pediatric subspecialties. We provide our clinical expertise to the infants, children, and youth who visit us at McMaster Children’s Hospital and the Ron Joyce Children’s Health Centre, and through partner institutions across the Hamilton Health Sciences, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, and Niagara Health. Collectively, we serve a population of 2.5 million people from south central Ontario and the surrounding regions.
