Each year, we treat more than 93,000 children who need care that is so complex, it can only be provided by medical experts. We provide care in more than 100 medical specialty and subspecialty areas. We are a research hospital and believe that it is through research that we can improve the delivery of care to the children of the future.

The majority of our patients come from Los Angeles County. However, because of our reputation, we receive patients who are referred from the seven counties surrounding Los Angeles, from across California, and around the world.
