Vision and Mission
At Lurie Children’s, we are dedicated to the health and well-being of all children. As a leader in pediatrics, we do this through our model of CARE: Clinical Care, Advocacy, Research and Education. We will be transformational force in CARE and innovation to achieve a healthier future of every child.
Julia Foster Porter originally opened the hospital as an eight-bed cottage in Lincoln Park; it was the first children’s hospital in Illinois. Her vision was to care for sick children irrespective of race, creed and ability to pay. This is the foundation of our current mission, which has evolved to include four pillars — exceptional patient care, groundbreaking research, inspiring education and relentless advocacy.
This mission continues to motivate us each day to achieve excellence in all these domains, so that every child has an opportunity for a healthier future. Lurie Children’s remains Illinois’ only freestanding, not-for-profit children’s hospital. It provides top-quality clinical care, generates discovery in pediatric medicine and science as well as serves as a safety net by providing comprehensive pediatric care.
