LuskinOIC

What LuskinOIC does

LuskinOIC (legal name: Luskin Orthopaedic Institute for Children) is a Los Angeles-based, California-organized nonprofit pediatric orthopaedic specialty hospital operating in strategic alliance with UCLA Health. Founded in 1911 and renamed in 2015 following a $15 million gift from Renee and Meyer Luskin (previously known as Orthopaedic Institute for Children), the organization is exclusively focused on musculoskeletal care for children from infants to young adults. It treats more than 60,000 children each year across approximately 54,000 patient visits, with 12,000+ braces supplied and 16,000+ casts applied annually. The primary facility at 403 West Adams Boulevard houses a walk-in Pediatric Orthopaedic Urgent Care (Monday–Friday 8 AM – 4 PM), an Ambulatory Surgery Center, a full Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Center, a Radiology department (with new MRI capabilities being funded by philanthropy), and the Orthopaedic Hemophilia Treatment Center (OHTC), which has operated continuously since being designated in 1970 by the World Federation of Hemophilia as one of the first four International Hemophilia Training Centers and recently performed California's first Hemophilia B gene therapy infusion.

The service portfolio spans core pediatric orthopaedic conditions — fractures, sports injuries, clubfoot (Ponseti Method), scoliosis, cerebral palsy, hand and microsurgery — supported by specialty programs including Cerebral Palsy Summer Camp, the JVL Orthopaedic Research Center, and the International Children's Program, which runs border screening clinics for families from Mexico and other countries and aggregates patients into the LA facility. Underlying technology includes a recently funded pediatric-dedicated MRI unit, state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment (reformer, CoreAlign, Alter G anti-gravity treadmill), and the proprietary L.U.S.K.I.N. Safety Recovery Method. The MyChart/UCLA Health patient portal handles scheduling and after-visit summaries; the workflow integrates with the UCLA Department of Orthopaedic Surgery (chaired by Dr. Nicholas Bernthal).

Revenue mechanics blend fee-for-service medical billing (most major insurance accepted, with financial assistance for uninsured families), a 340B Drug Pricing Program pharmacy channel (all pharmacy revenue supports the OHTC), and a substantial philanthropic stream anchored by individual donors, families, corporates, and foundations such as the Everychild Foundation ($1 million MRI grant in 2025). Marketing relies on community events (Annual Innovation Gala, Swing for Kids, Toys & Joy), content marketing (blog/news), monthly newsletters, sports-organization sponsorships (LA Chargers, LA Sparks, UCLA Athletics, DTLA Youth Soccer, Clayton Kershaw/Dodgers), and a strong referral infrastructure (Medical Professional Help Line, downloadable referral forms, fellowship programs). The organization has no disclosed revenue, no app product, no proprietary AI/ML stack, and no M&A history.
