We recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new Children’s Health Specialty Clinics, and our community's kids have a lot to say about it! 😀

More than 21 pediatric specialties will now reside under one roof. Loma Linda University Children’s Health leaders expect this to help ease the burden of navigating to-and-from appointments for parents, especially those who have children with complex needs. The large number of exam rooms, 149, will also allow for greater efficiency during visits.

Raising over $113,800 for our tiniest patients. 🌟

Last week, the Big Hearts for Little Hearts Loma Linda Guild held their annual “Dishes for Wishes” event, raising funds toward the purchase of new Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) monitors for our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

These advanced, non-invasive monitors provide real-time insight into oxygen delivery to the brain, helping clinicians detect potential complications sooner in premature infants. For families, they offer added reassurance during some of life's most challenging moments.

Thank you to local restaurants, businesses, law enforcement officers, and volunteers for helping advance care for our patients. 💙
