Our Leadership

Board of Trustees

Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is a non-profit, private pediatric hospital under the leadership of a volunteer Board of Trustees, consisting of 73 community leaders and physicians. 

The Board is responsible for

• establishing the vision, mission, and goals of the hospital 
• ensuring qualified and competent executive management performance
• ensuring the highest quality patient care
• securing the financial health of the hospital
• building positive community relationships 
• fundraising to fulfill the hospital’s mission¹

Board members serve on the hospital’s Finance, Professional Affairs, Investment, Audit, Strategic Planning, Research Institute Advisory, and Government Relations Advisory Committees, to name a few.  Although many members also support the hospital on a philanthropic basis, the hospital benefits to an even greater degree from the expertise and guidance provided by these volunteers on matters of institutional significance.

Administrative & Medical Leaders

The hospital is managed by a a group of capable Administrative Leaders led by a Board-appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as Medical Leaders who help implement the direction and guidance provided by the Board.

¹  In support of the hospital's current campaign, the Board has collectively granted over $138 million, which includes cash gifts, pledges, or planned gifts from each and every member.
