Franciscan Children's is a non-profit pediatric specialty hospital located in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.[1] Founded in 1949,[2] the facility provides inpatient and outpatient chronic care and rehabilitation services to pediatric patients. In 2022, the hospital had 112 staffed beds and operated with revenues of $78.7 million, at a profit of $0.1 million.[1] It also offers mobile health services such as home care and school visits,[3][4] and provides special education at its Kennedy Day School.[5] Notably, it is the only rehabilitation facility in the region which accepts infants requiring ventilator support.[6]
Franciscan Children's was founded in 1949 through the collaboration of Archbishop of Boston Richard Cushing and the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary.[3] Funded largely with a $600,000 gift by the Kennedy family, the hospital was originally named the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Memorial Hospital,[2][5] honoring the late Kennedy who was killed during a 1944 air mission over England during World War II.[7] In 1989, the hospital was renamed Franciscan Children's Hospital and Rehabilitation Center,[3] which was then shortened to Franciscan Children's in 2016.[8]
In 2023, Franciscan was acquired by Children’s Medical Center Corp., parent company of Boston Children's Hospital.[6]
Today, services offered by Franciscan include inpatient services such as behavioral health, rehabilitation, and ventilator care,[6] as well as outpatient services including dentistry.[3] The hospital is known for accepting patients requiring intensive and complex care due to major trauma, chronic conditions and serious behavioral problems.[9]
