Carissa Donica, a high school senior, recently completed a Girl Scout Gold Award project to raise awareness of phenylketonuria (PKU). Carissa sought to educate and provide food for local children with PKU. She created a teaching module about PKU and was able to raise approximately $7,000. Funds raised were used to provide low-protein supplies for the food pantry at the UNC Children’s Hospital for distribution to families of children with PKU. UNC Children’s is proud of Carissa and grateful to her for such an impactful gift!

We are a national leader in medical education, research, clinical care, and advocacy. Our physician-scientists and clinicians offer excellent, cutting-edge care in the UNC Children’s Hospital, through telehealth, and in clinic locations across the state. Working together, we develop and deliver treatments and cures to help children everywhere.
We have a long history of progressive, national and international investigation in all types of health science research. While investigators continue to pursue substantial bench research, we continue to expand our focus in translational and clinical research. Routinely, we are annually ranked in the top 25 of NIH Awards to Pediatric Departments.
We emphasize safe and high-quality patient care and are dedicated to improving patient safety and mitigating risks with proactive risk management strategies. In order for us all to achieve positive and long-lasting healthcare transformations, it is essential we identify gaps between actual and desired care and to develop expertise in quality improvement methods.
Our faculty, staff, and learners are always making news. We love to see the mission of UNC Children’s and the Department of Pediatrics reflected in the media. Whether we’re announcing promotions and research awards, welcoming new leaders, or sharing good news about growth and improvements in children’s services at UNC, you can find it here.
We inspire each other every day. With pride in our mission and our accomplishments, it is an honor to be surrounded by these exceptionally talented and dedicated faculty, staff, and learners. Our teams are tireless advocates for children and families throughout the state and beyond.
For more than half a century, the Department of Pediatrics at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine has offered excellent, cutting-edge care in our children’s units at UNC Hospitals. 2002 marked the beginning of a new era. For the first time, all pediatric services were provided out of a single state-of-the-art facility, NC Children’s Hospital. Located on the UNC medical campus in Chapel Hill, NC, the Children’s Hospital allows the Department to provide complete inpatient and outpatient care for children in one location, a true children’s hospital.
