Where Miracles Happen Everyday…

As a top-tier academic medical center, UNC Children’s upholds a four-tiered mission to “CARE,” aligning clinical care, advocacy, research, and education to deliver world-class family-centered care—always regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

If and when you need us, we’re at the ready.

…Where Miracles Begin

The Children’s Research Institute provides the specific expertise and support researchers need to address the unique challenges in children’s health. We provide state-of-the-art equipment and space to focus on pediatric disorders, diseases and their treatments. We help to identify opportunities for researchers to collaborate and work in teams, sparking new ideas and promise for children’s health.
