A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

At Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, one of our core

values is that we achieve our best together. Only

through a combination of world-class specialty care,

innovative research, robust medical training and

collaboration with community health partners can we

continue to create hope and build healthier futures for

children and families throughout Southern California

and beyond. This second edition of our popular

Provider Relations Reference Guide includes updates

to our physician directory, clinic locations and CHLA’s

350 specialty programs and services.

It is my sincere hope that this guide will continue to

be a valuable resource for our referring providers and

other CHLA community partners, and that together we

can provide the best continuum of compassionate,

expert care for the lives entrusted to us.

Paul S. Viviano President and Chief Executive Officer
