Children’s Hospital Los Angeles opened the doors of its new outpatient services center in Arcadia on Nov. 1, bringing the clinical expertise of its doctors, nurses and staff to area residents. The outpatient center is known as Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Arcadia and is located at 468 E. Santa Clara St. A variety of outpatient services are offered, including gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, pulmonology, otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) and pediatric surgery. Laboratory and radiological services are also available and more specialty services will be added in the near future.
“Our physicians provide the most diverse pediatric services available on the West Coast,” said Brent Polk, MD, chair of the Department of Pediatrics and vice president of Academic Affairs at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “This new center will give San Gabriel Valley families and their children access to our outstanding outpatient clinical services right in their own neighborhood.”
“Children who live in the San Gabriel Valley will now be able to see their surgeon or pediatrician in ‘their own backyard’ both before and after surgery,” said Henri Ford, MD, vice president and surgeon-in-chief, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “We’re grateful for the warm welcome we have received in Arcadia and are glad to be part of the community.”
The 10,000-square-foot outpatient center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To find out more about the center, go to www.CHLA.org/Arcadia, or contact the center directly at
(626) 795-7177. The new center will be staffed by clinicians from the nationally renowned Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, which is one of only eight children’s hospitals in the nation – and the only one in the western United States – named to the national “Honor Roll” of children’s hospitals in the 2010 U.S. News & World Report rankings for clinical excellence.
