What Miller Children's & Women's Hospital does

MemorialCare Miller Children's & Women's Hospital is a nonprofit, free-standing pediatric and maternity hospital located at 2801 Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach, California, operating as a core entity within the MemorialCare integrated health system. The hospital is one of only eight free-standing children's hospitals in California and is differentiated by offering specialized maternity and pediatric care under one roof. Its service portfolio spans the Cherese Mari Laulhere BirthCare Center (U.S. News & World Report High Performing), a Level IV Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the Children's Heart Institute, the Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute (one of 10 U.S. children's hospitals accredited by the Commission on Cancer), the Children's Pulmonary Institute (Joint Commission–recognized for asthma), Gastroenterology & Nutrition, Orthopedics, a 7-room Surgical Center, the Cherese Mari Laulhere Children's Village ambulatory specialty center, a 24/7 Emergency Department, and Research & Clinical Trials. Operational scale includes 5,178 annual births, 850+ pediatric physicians across 30+ sub-specialties, 1,500+ PICU admissions, and 600+ orthopedic surgeries per year, with care delivered through the main campus and satellite outpatient specialty centers spanning South Bay to South Orange County.

The hospital generates revenue through patient care services covered by health insurance plans and patient payments, supported by financial assistance programs for eligible patients. Go-to-market is regionally concentrated in Long Beach and surrounding Orange and Los Angeles County communities (~2.5 million residents in stated catchment), with patients acquired through physician referrals, self-referral to specialists, the Emergency Department, and the myChart patient portal for scheduling. The underlying technology stack is standard digital health infrastructure centered on the Epic myChart portal, with recent investments in patient-facing features such as in-portal organ donor registration. The hospital does not currently disclose a publicly traded revenue figure, operates without patent or trademark assets, and is governed within the MemorialCare nonprofit structure rather than as an independent corporate entity. Lara Khouri (MBA, MPH) was appointed CEO in March 2026, with stated strategic priorities including leveraging AI, advancing research, and expanding access to specialized care.

Broad incumbents

• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center: Major Southern California academic health system with broad adult and pediatric services. Overlaps with Miller on maternity and select pediatric specialty care while operating a much larger, diversified portfolio across adult service lines.

Direct peers

• UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals: UCSF-affiliated free-standing children's hospitals in San Francisco and Oakland offering quaternary pediatric specialty care. Comparable academic pediatric peer with overlapping cancer, cardiac, and transplant capabilities.
• Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford: Academic free-standing children's hospital affiliated with Stanford, offering quaternary pediatric care including transplants, oncology, and cardiac surgery. Comparable in scope of subspecialties and Level IV NICU designation, though operating in Northern California.
• Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA): One of the largest free-standing pediatric academic medical centers in the U.S., based in Los Angeles. Direct peer given overlapping tertiary pediatric specialty services, research programs, and shared Southern California referral market.
• Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego: Free-standing children's hospital serving San Diego and Imperial Counties. Comparable California free-standing children's hospital with similar specialty service mix and pediatric research programs.
• Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC): Free-standing children's hospital in Orange County providing comprehensive pediatric specialty and inpatient care. Closest geographic direct peer to Miller, competing for the same South Bay to South Orange County referral base.
• Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA: Pediatric hospital within the UCLA Health system providing tertiary and quaternary pediatric care. Direct competitor in the Los Angeles pediatric market with overlapping specialty services and academic research capabilities.

Regional players

• Phoenix Children's Hospital: Free-standing children's hospital serving Arizona and the Southwest. Comparable in scope (free-standing pediatric specialty, cancer accreditation, Level IV NICU) but operates in a distinct geographic market from Miller.
• Children's Healthcare of Atlanta: Large free-standing pediatric health system operating multiple hospital campuses in the Southeast. Comparable in scale of pediatric specialty services, research, and quaternary capability, though serving a different regional market.

Others

• MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center: Adult acute care hospital within the same MemorialCare integrated health system, sharing back office, EHR, and clinical staff with Miller. Sister facility operating in the same Long Beach campus rather than a true competitor, but provides system-level comparison for capital allocation and service line strategy.
