The Yellow Balloon is the New Gold Standard
Where would pediatric specialists send the sickest children?
The secret is out. Currently on newsstands, the U.S. News Best Hospitals issue reveals the best children’s hospitals across the
nation. Congratulations to our 50 member hospitals that made this distinguished
list and reinforce the message that our iconic yellow balloon not only
symbolizes hope and healing, but the gold standard in kids’ medical care as
well.
