For all of life's firsts

Whether it’s a first pregnancy, the first seconds of life, first recital, or first visit to the ER, you’re there for each moment. As LA and Orange Counties’ only hospital just for children and women, we’re here for both of you.

Unique for a hospital, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, OB hospitalists and neonatologists are on‐site 24/7, so if a delivery isn’t routine, the baby is moved just down the hall from mom to receive specialized care in the Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. At other hospitals without these capabilities under one roof, the baby would need to be transported away from mom who is still recovering from delivery.
