At Columbia Children’s Health, we continue that exceptional tradition through our affiliation with NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, the top rated children’s hospital in New York. We care for the sickest children in the tri-state region and know how difficult it is to have a child with a serious medical problem. Columbia Children’s Health is the trusted source and destination for treatment of some of the rarest, most complex pediatric illnesses. At Columbia Children's Health, you will find experts in all pediatric specialties. Our more than 400 pediatric specialists are known for combining the very latest advances in medicine with compassionate, personalized care. Every child is special to us. We are here to champion your child’s health. In 2023 we re-evaluated and re-committed to an updated vision and mission that reflected our collective ambitions for the future of Columbia pediatrics. They may look like simple statements, and might even seem obvious to anyone working with us on a day-to-day basis. But they’re much more than that. Our mission and vision set the foundation for the achievements of our future, and for the impact we’ll make on behalf of the children in our community and in our care. Mission

In July 2024, over a span of 24 hours, a multidisciplinary transplant team at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital became one of the first in the U.S. to perform a split-root domino partial heart transplant — a series of surgeries that enabled the young recipient of a deceased donor heart to donate her living valves to two other pediatric patients with congenital heart conditions. “There is absolutely nothing that can be more rewarding than helping three patients at once,” says Dr. Kalfa, director of the Pediatric Heart Valve Center and surgical director for the Initiative for Pediatric Cardiac Innovation at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. “Having such an impact on the life of children is magical to me.” Learn more -
