Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital is one of three medical centers nationwide backing a new effort to create more medicine and instruments made just for children.

The three hospitals are the founding members of the Institute for Pediatric Innovation’s Pediatric Hospital Consortium, which was scheduled to meet for the first time today, June 25, in Kansas City.

The institute, with help from the hospital consortium, aims to find better ways to develop and commercialize drugs and medical devices designed for children.
