Yes, it's a strong children's hospital. Well-funded, good programs, and an excellent pediatric cancer unit.
Most of the magnet children's hospitals in the United States are excellent facilities with at least one program where they really excel.
I used to work with all the childrens' hospitals in the country. It's definitely a peer but not a notable outlier.
The only childrens' hospitals that really have issues are the ones that are in depressed areas and have funding issues. Oakland struggles because it HAS to take Medicaid kids, and SF does not (they're in the same system and it is set up that way on purpose). Memphis Le Bonheur has issues at times because St. Jude's attracts a lot of local donors (and is very specialized). Etc.
