CHLA By the Numbers

Founded in 1901, Children's Hospital Los Angeles is the top-ranked pediatric hospital in California and among the top five in the nation, according to the prestigious U.S.News & World Report. With expertise in more than 350 pediatric specialty programs and services, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles offers the full continuum of medical services to patients, pioneers new and minimally invasive treatments and engages in laboratory research to develop care protocols that help children heal faster.
