Preserving the Magic of Childhood
At CHOC, we’ve assembled a mighty brigade of experts dedicated to caring for children, whether they’re healthy or seriously ill. So, kids can get back to being kids.
“[Philanthropy has] allowed us expanded opportunities to serve some of our most vulnerable patients at a moment of crisis in their lives.”
Dr. Heather Huszti
CHOC Chief Psychologist“We are different and our quality of care is higher because of the philanthropic support that we receive… We cannot and would not ever be able to do what we do for these kids without what the donors are doing for us.”
Dani Milliken
Clinical Director, The Cherese Mari Laulhere Mental Health Inpatient Center“So grateful to be at CHOC. Our experience here so far has been exceptional! The nurses, doctors and all staff are so inviting and professional. CHOC will always be my recommendation.”
