Renown Children’s Hospital

Renown Children's Hospital is dedicated to health and well-being of young patients and their families in the northern Nevada community.

The health and well-being of children is paramount to the health of a community. We provide health care for infants, children and adolescents, and have a variety of pediatric specialists to care for all types of medical problems.

Kids are not just "little adults." Renown Children's Hospital offers pediatricians with the experience to recognize children's illnesses and the knowledge of available children's tests and treatments.
