On this day in 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight.
Pediatrics is a collaborative specialty -- pediatricians work with other medical specialists and healthcare professionals to provide for the health and emotional needs of children. Education:
To create the pediatric rankings, we gather key clinical data from approximately 180 pediatric centers through a detailed survey. In addition, part of each hospital's score is derived from surveys of more than 10,000 pediatric specialists who are asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty. In 2016, only 78 children's hospitals were ranked in at least one of the pediatric specialties we evaluate. Eleven hospitals garnered high scores in three or more specialties and were named to the Honor Roll.
