Dr. Mark Kline Named Chair of Pediatrics at Baylor; Physician-in-Chief at Texas Children's

by Joan Trombetti, Writer
Texas Children's was named one of the top 10 children's hospitals nationwide, and Dr. Mark Kline, an infectious disease expert, is named chair of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and physician-in-chief at Texas Children's Hospital. He joins President Mark Wallace as co-leader of Texas Children's.

Under Kline's leadership, the Texas Children's Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative founded in 1996, has won global acclaim, establishing programs in 14 countries and providing care to approximately 30,000 HIV-infected children in Africa and Romania. Kline will continue to serve the Initiative but in a reduced capacity.

Kline has garnered numerous awards and honors, has shared his expertise on child health issues around the world and is a prolific author on that subject.

Prior to Kline's appointment, Dr. Ralph Feigin held the position of chair for 31 years, until his death in 2008.

Also in the news, Texas Children's was rated by the U.S. News Media Group as one of the leading children's hospitals in the country (for the 10th consecutive year) and is one of only 10 hospitals to earn Honor Roll status.
