Specialists from both medical centers serve children's health needs in their local communities as well as in communities throughout the Western United States by outreach services at more than 40 locations. Those services range from primary care offered by LPCHS pediatricians and well-baby care for healthy newborns, to the services of internationally-renowned pediatric specialists.

LPCHS physicians are world-renowned for their clinical care and research in pediatric heart surgery and interventional cardiac care to treat congenital heart defects; surgery to treat life-threatening defects of the fetus in the womb; liver and kidney transplants; brain surgery; cancer care and bone marrow transplants to treat cancer and severe immune system disorders.

Premature newborns and infants with complex medical problems benefit from care in neonatal intensive care units that pioneered the management of very sick infants.

In addition, through their affiliation with two highly acclaimed medical schools, LPCHS faculty members are leaders in medical education, training the next generation of primary care pediatricians and pediatric specialists.
