Each year more than 500 compassionate individuals from our community volunteer more than 90,000 hours in 100+ different areas of the hospital. Our volunteers provide special services to our patients and families that contribute daily to our mission to create hope and build healthier futures.
About us
Children's Hospital Los Angeles is a nonprofit institution that provides pediatric health care and helps our patients more than half a million times each year in a setting designed just for their needs. Our history began in 1901 in a small house on the corner of Alpine and Castelar Streets (now Hill St. in Chinatown) and today our medical experts offer more than 350 pediatric specialty programs and services to meet the needs of our patients.
