Living Proof II builds upon the success of Living Proof: The Campaign for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. In our previous campaign, we raised more than $500 million to continue our important work for the children and families of Los Angeles and beyond.
Moving forward, Living Proof II will raise support to meet the hospital's $250 million philanthropic need to build a New Hospital Building to treat the children of Los Angeles and beyond. Our current inpatient building is over 40 years old and does not meet seismic safety requirements. Additionally, standards in patient care and the culture of family involvement have changed dramatically since the original facility was built.
In June of 2005, we broke ground on a 460,000-square-foot New Hospital Building that will support the absolute best in children's health care. The hospital will:
- open in 2010
- significantly enhance our ability to provide family-centered care
- optimize the latest medical technologies
- advance new opportunities in medicine for children
- increase our ability to accept children who are the most critically ill
