It is with great pleasure we share with you today the exciting news that our Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital has once again earned a ranking among the nation's best children's hospitals in multiple specialties. This year, the Children's Hospital is ranked in orthopaedics (for the second straight year), cancer, and diabetes and endocrinology.

This news serves to affirm for members of the Penn State Hershey community both the quality of the care and the quality of the caring that happens at our Children's Hospital every day. The daily commitment so many people make to provide vital services to the children and families of our community is what makes recognition like this possible.

And so this honor belongs to each one of you — our faculty and staff, our students, our volunteers, our friends, and our supporters. We hope you will join us on June 28 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. in the courtyard for a celebration of this achievement.

On behalf of the children and families we serve, thank you and congratulations.
