Miller Children’s Hospital is one of only two children’s hospitals in Los Angeles County. We have cultivated a regional and national reputation for our quality of care, compassionate medical and nursing staffs, and parents and medical professionals have come to know us and trust us over the years.

We are home to one of the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in California, treating more high-risk infants daily than any other hospital in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. In addition, our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) provides comprehensive care for the most serious pediatric cases, many of which come to us through our new pediatric Emergency Department – one of few in the area that meets special criteria for providing pediatric emergency and trauma care.

Today, we admit more than 8,000 youngsters annually, see more that 120,000 children in our outpatient clinics, treat more than 25,000 in our Emergency Department and care for more than 1,000 newborns in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, many of whom are referred to from other institutions.

We are the major pediatric teaching hospital for the School of Medicine at University of California, Irvine, and are one of the 10 largest pediatric training programs in the country. We’re staffed around the clock with residents and supervising physicians experienced in the practical application of the most advanced medical techniques. Miller Children’s Hospital’s educational and research programs keeps it at the leading edge in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries, and in the enhancement of children’s health.

While most of our patients come from greater Long Beach area, northwest Orange County and southwest Los Angeles County, we also receive referrals from medical professionals and other hospitals around the country. Our Pediatric and Neonatal Transport Service is always available to transfer patients referred to Miller Children’s Hospital from other hospitals.
