History
Before the current building, care of pediatric patients took place on a pediatric unit in the main hospital, which had opened one of the first neonatal intensive care units in the country.[8] Initial plans for the new building were drawn up in 1987. Hospital officials cited the lack of space for ambulatory programs as the main reason for the new freestanding children's hospital.[9] The hospital opened up six years later in 1993.[10]
In 2016 officials from Yale New Haven Health announced that they were in preliminary talks with Connecticut Children's Medical Center to merge and form an independent children's hospital system.[11][12] The plan called for a formation of a board that managed both hospitals with the alliance named Kidco.[13][14]
In September 2017, talks of merger ended when a disagreement over what system the new hospital would be in, with YNHCH wanting the system to be a part of Yale, and Connecticut Children's wanting the system to be completely independent.[15][16]
In October 2017, YNHCH agreed to have its physicians provide pediatric emergency coverage at Greenwich Hospital in a dedicated pediatric emergency department.[17]
In 2018, the hospital opened up a new two-floor neonatal intensive care unit that covers the entire tenth and eleventh floors.[18][19] The new NICU debuted couplet rooms for mother and baby patients, a feature that is only in one other hospital nationwide.[20] The new NICU has been seen as a model for other hospitals in the country.[21] Later that year, in 2018, the unit was rated as a Level 4 NICU (highest possible) by the American Academy of Pediatrics.[22]
In 2018, as a part of the NICU renovation, the hospital also renovated four other floors of the hospital. Patient rooms and nurse stations were redesigned to better fit the needs of staff and patients.[23]
In November 2019, YNHCH opened a 8,700-square-foot specialty center at Greenwich Hospital, expanding their pediatric offerings at the hospital adding child-friendly decor.[24]
In October 2020, Yale New Haven Health opened a new $37 million pediatric and adult primary care clinic in the Fair Haven neighborhood of New Haven. Pediatric patients are managed by YNHCH.[25]
In November 2020, the hospital took delivery of a neonatal MRI scanner, becoming only the second hospital in the country to own a neonatal MRI (after Brigham and Women's Hospital).[26][27]
About

Awards
In 2017 the hospital was named the "overall winner" of the Children's Hospital Association's Pediatric Quality Award.[30] Also in 2017, the hospital was ranked as #4 in the country for pediatric endocrinology by the U.S. News & World Report.[31]
In 2018, YNHCH was named to the Parents Magazine list of the "20 most innovative children’s hospitals in the United States."[32]
In September, 2020 the hospital's allergy and immunology department was recognized as a "Food Allergy Research & Education: clinical care center of distinction."[33]
For its 2021 edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked YNHCH in six out of 10 ranked pediatric specialties, a loss of one from the previous year.
