Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), is the advanced care pediatric hospital for New York’s Hudson Valley region and Fairfield County, Connecticut. Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital is part of the Valhalla, NY campus of WMCHealth along with Westchester Medical Center and the Behavioral Health Center. It is home to hundreds of clinical and surgical pediatric specialists in almost every medical field. The hospital treats about 20,000 patients each year. Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital operates under a “family-centered care” approach to treating children. This philosophy involves parents, siblings and family members in every step of a child’s treatment, and is provided in a building designed specifically from the point of view of children and their families.
As part of Westchester Medical Center Health Network, an academic health affiliate of New York Medical College, Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital is also a major teaching facility. The staff is involved in research, developing tomorrow’s treatments and in training the children’s health care providers of tomorrow in the arts and sciences of pediatric medical care.
Maria Fareri Children's Hospital was built through the efforts of hundreds of parents, medical professionals, and community leaders, including Brenda and John Fareri who lost their 13-year-old daughter, Maria, to rabies in 1995. After Maria died, her parents learned that Maria had made a special wish as part of a school project - for the health and well-being of all the children in the world. Guided by Maria’s wish, the Fareri family helped lead the design and creation of Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital as a “family-centered” hospital. It is the only hospital in the nation named after a child.
Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital offers a unique physical environment centered on the hospital’s philosophy of “family-centered” care. The state-of-the-art facility includes a Regional Trauma Center and is designed to accommodate the special needs of pediatric patients and their families. Other notable features include:
