Jobs Summary: Children’s Hospital Boston is the only hospital in Massachusetts committed entirely to the health care of children and offers a comprehensive range of health care services and pioneering knowledge and therapies in accordance with its research mission. CHB is also dedicated to being a caring and responsive community partner and leader in civic and public policy.
