Overview
Welcome to Niswonger Children’s Hospital
We believe that seeing a kite lift from the ground and flutter in the breeze is a sign of hope and healing. The children and teens we serve at Niswonger Children’s Hospital are the future of this region. We work every day to be the place that makes kites fly, to help and heal the young people of this region – and, ultimately, to make hope rise.
High tech and welcoming
As the only children’s hospital in the region, Niswonger Children’s Hospital offers you state-of-the-art medical care in a family-centered environment.
Our cheerful and bright hospital is designed to let children receive excellent care in a light-filled, supportive and high-tech environment.
Our pediatric-trained physicians and team members provide exceptional medical care, using the latest technology.
Designed for families
We recognize that caring for a hospitalized child involves the entire family. That is why our hospital was designed with families in mind.
Pediatric patients need spaces to play, grow and heal, while caregivers need space to rest, relax and recharge.
We invite you to take advantage of the many amenities and family support areas available at Niswonger Children’s Hospital, as well as at our parent hospital, Johnson City Medical Center.
Children’s Resource Center
We believe healthy communities start with healthy children. The Children’s Resource Center aims to improve community health by investing in the health of children and their families through targeted outreach and support programs.
We work with healthcare providers, schools and community agencies to:
- Engage children and families – and families in healthy behaviors
- Help them navigate – through complex health challenges
- Connect them – to resources and support networks that can best meet their needs.
