"Our clinical outcomes are among the best in the country," said Charles Schleien, MD, executive director of Cohen Children's, and senior vice president and chair of pediatrics at Northwell Health (formerly North Shore-LIJ Health System). "Knowing that their child is going to get great care should give families great comfort that they've come to the right place. We have the best of all pediatric services under one roof, as demonstrated by the latest US News' survey."
