2020 will always be remembered as a year unlike any other , but as the pandemic continued , 2021 proved to be an even more challenging year for pediatric healthcare . In the face of this adversity , our caregivers brought hope to our communities , conducting the first two phases of Pfizer ’ s largest vaccine trial for ages 5-11 and administering nearly 140,000 COVID-19 vaccines across our four hospital campuses . And through it all , we never lost sight of the things that drive our mission forward . Serious illness didn ’ t pause for the pandemic , so we continued caring for the sickest kids , expanding and enhancing the care we deliver , sustaining our commitment to achieving zero preventable harm , and transforming the future of child health .
The numbers in the pages that follow signify not only our collective accomplishments from 2021 , but also the resilience , innovation and dedication of our extraordinary team members . Together , we have made an incredible impact on our patients and communities , and this booklet provides an opportunity to pause , reflect and celebrate the remarkable work we have done as we move forward toward a brighter tomorrow .
