From colds to cancer, fevers to fractures, whenever health care is provided for children battling life-threatening or life-changing injuries and illnesses, you see the impact of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and its mission to create hope and build healthier futures.
With over half a million patient visits last year, the CHLA health system cares for more kids than any other facility in the region. When other hospitals and caregivers run out of options to save a child, they often turn to the compassionate experts at CHLA – at the main campus on Sunset Boulevard, the outpatient centers throughout the L.A. metro, or with one of more than 116 community pediatricians in the CHLA Health Network.
Families from all 50 states and more than 50 countries look to CHLA to help children with heart defects, brain disorders, spinal deformities, cancer, and more. CHLA surgeons can operate on infants in the womb, and CHLA doctors provide therapies for teens even on the cusp of adulthood.
The Saban Research Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is one of the most productive freestanding pediatric research facilities in the United States, and it has led the hospital to become one of the first in the country approved to treat leukemia patients with highly successful CAR-T immunotherapy techniques.
“Helping children heal is our primary mission and we cannot achieve this without community support,” says CHLA President and CEO Paul S. Viviano. “While some children’s hospitals choose to focus on one area of child health, we focus on them all. With more than 350 specialty pediatric programs and services, we’re prepared to help children recover faster.”
That’s why every gift counts. CHLA provides the equivalent of $267.4 million in community benefit and $3.4 million in charity care a year. The hospital bridges that difference one gift at a time, through members of the community. You can ensure these young patients get the critical, lifesaving care they need by donating to CHLA’s Live L.A. Give L.A. campaign. Your support can, and will, make a difference.
