Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD) is the only facility of its kind in Virginia. It was established as an 88-bed, not-for-profit hospital in 1961 by The King’s Daughters, a women’s service organization dedicated to the health and wellbeing of the community’s indigent children. Since then, CHKD has evolved into a 206-bed teaching hospital that is the clinical home of the Eastern Virginia Medical School department of pediatrics and its pediatric residency training program. CHKD is the home of the pioneering Nuss Procedure for the surgical correction of pectus excavatum and a worldwide research center for pediatric chest wall deformities. CHKD is also the heart of an extensive pediatric healthcare system that provides comprehensive medical care to children at the hospital and multi-service health centers throughout southeastern Virginia. CHKD Health System services include everything from primary care, wellness and prevention initiatives to acute inpatient care to ongoing care for chronic conditions.
