As I walked in the hospital, it felt comfortable enough as a second home.

We would have never imagined that we would be told that our little guy was in heart failure .... By a miracle, we were sent to CHLA where the care was phenomenal!

I want to compliment you on your nurse residency program and video. I found myself smiling with tears, watching it this morning.

Working at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles enriched my life and made me a better person. I really miss and the great friends I made while working there and I hope I brought some joy to the children and their family during my years of employment there.

The nurses were extremely understanding to her traumatic event. They had the child pyschologist visit her daily to see how she was feeling, and also had them speak with family.

I just celebrated my 42nd Birthday and each day I am happy to be alive. Dr Henry Heins passed away 15 years ago, I would like to thank him for looking over me in the heavens above.

Being a parent and knowing your newborn needs heart surgery is devasting. You don't know what to expect or what the outcome will be.

Zoey's entrance into this world marked the commencement of a miraculous journey—a journey of challenges and obstacles—a journey of beauty, grace, and hope.

The outstanding care I received from Dr. Elaine Lieberman and staff not only saved my life but also enabled me to a "normal" life/life span.

I had open heart surgery in 1976 when I was 3 years old and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is where I had my surgery. I guess because I'm 36 years old now, I hadn't really thought about being at the hospital or what my family or I had gone through during that time.

I'm Catholic but never in my life I thought I would find myself praying more than ever for all those beautiful children in desperate need of good health and my nephew is one of them....

Evan went in for his first open heart surgery at the age of six weeks, which resulted in a two-ventricle heart with holes fixed! Although it wasn't an easy road—and he ended up needing a second open heart surgery to do a few more repairs two weeks later—we knew we were in the best hands. After a four-week stay, we happily took our baby boy home and enjoyed the happiest 9 months of our lives to date!

I thank God for Childrens Hospital because the doctors there have a good reputation for helping children. We are excited and can't wait to visit. My life will be at ease knowing my son is under your care.
