CHAM also continues its leadership in New York City, maintaining its #2 ranking overall. CHAM upheld its long-standing top specialty rankings in New York City, with Nephrology ranking at #2 and Diabetes & Endocrinology taking the #3 spot, and recognition as one of two hospitals in New York City to place in the Top 50 for Pediatric & Adolescent Behavioral Health. 

Our nationally ranked specialties have a long history of excellence. 

Pediatric Diabetes & Endocrinology 

CHAM is one of only three American Diabetes Association-approved facilities in New York City. The multidisciplinary Diabetes Care Team provides in-depth evaluation and counseling for patients with diabetes mellitus and education in all aspects of diabetes care, including skills assessment and teaching, insulin pump training and continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring. 

Pediatric Nephrology 

The Ira Greifer Children’s Kidney Center at CHAM is one of the nation’s largest, most experienced and innovative facilities dedicated to caring for children with kidney conditions. The first to treat children with kidney failure and perform the first pediatric kidney transplant in New York State, CHAM’s Children’s Kidney Center now has one of the largest hemodialysis and transplant programs in the region and country. 

Pediatric & Adolescent Behavioral Health 

A range of services is available for children and adolescents with mental health conditions, including evaluation and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, ADHD, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. Ambulatory services are available in multiple locations, as well as integrated within primary care pediatrics and within Bronx public schools. Montefiore Einstein sponsors the first and one of the most well-known adolescent Dialectical Behavior Therapy programs in the United States, as well as a specialized psychiatry emergency service within the CHAM Emergency Department. For patients with a range of neurodevelopmental and behavioral concerns, our renowned Rose F. Kennedy Children’s Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center provides comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation and longitudinal medical and therapeutic evidence-based care. 


“I am proud of my colleagues—who compassionately provide the most advanced and specialized care to children with a wide range of health challenges—for their regional and national leadership in their fields. CHAM has ranked as one of the nation’s best since the inception of the U.S. News  rankings 17 years ago.”
