In a move to further enhance the award-winning health system’s ability to provide specialized care for children at high risk of infection, Phoenix Children’s created a new Division of Infectious Diseases and named Wassim Ballan, MD, chief of the division.

Joining the newly created Division of Anesthesiology are 39 experienced providers who recently transitioned from a longstanding private practice into Phoenix Children’s Medical Group. Many of these skilled providers have subspecialties within anesthesia, including pediatric pain management, cardiology, transplantation and more.

Only 35 states and Washington, D.C. were home to hospitals with a top state distinction, per U.S. News.
