Los Angeles
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is one of the nation’s leading children’s hospitals and is acknowledged worldwide for its leadership in pediatric and adolescent health. Founded in 1901, CHLA is a premier teaching hospital and has been affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California since 1932. The hospital is also home of The Saban Research Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, one of the largest and most productive pediatric research facilities in the United States.
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is one of only 10 children’s hospitals nationwide to earn a ranking in all 10 pediatric specialties evaluated by U.S. News & World Report. The publisher’s prestigious Best Children’s Hospitals rankings also included CHLA on its exclusive Honor Roll for the ninth straight year. CHLA has been selected for the esteemed list every year since the list was introduced in 2009.
Nursing is another area in which Children’s Hospital Los Angeles stands out for providing exceptional care. The American Nurses Credentialing Center has conferred Magnet recognition on CHLA every year since 2008 for the hospital’s high-quality patient care and nursing excellence. Magnet recognition is the ultimate benchmark for measuring the quality of care that patients can expect to receive. The Magnet designation process appraises both qualitative and quantitative factors in nursing, and awards hospitals that provide the very best in nursing care and uphold the tradition of professional nursing practice.
To deliver this level of award-winning care, it takes a highly skilled and passionate team, as noted by James E. Stein, MD, senior vice president and chief medical officer at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “Quality of care and patient safety are ingrained into our organizational fabric,” Stein says. “We are devoted to our patients and families, and we believe this work takes everyone prioritizing safe patient practices, from our CHLA medical team to the ancillary staff.”
At Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, professionals are empowered to deliver the highest quality care and create more special moments for children. n Learn more: jobs.chla.org
