We welcome you and your child to UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital

For many children and families, staying overnight at the hospital can be a difficult and confusing experience.

At UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, we understand what you are going through and want to take this opportunity to assure you that we are committed to treating your child and your family with respect and compassion.

We deliver the highest quality care for your child because we promote strong partnership and collaboration among the patient, family and our dedicated team of physicians, nurses, health care professionals and support staff. Your child’s treatment plan will be tailored to fit his or her physical and developmental needs, and we encourage you and your family to be active participants in the decisions regarding your child’s care.

UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital ranks among the best in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Children’s Hospitals.” We are proud of this accomplishment, and it is our goal to re-earn it with each new patient who enters our hospital.
