Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Children’s Hospital for 2024-2025. The hospital is tied for 8th place in California overall, with the following specialty rankings:

  • Cardiology & heart surgery: #10
  • Pediatric urology: #40
  • Pediatric nephrology: #46

This is the fourth consecutive year LLUCH has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report.

Peter Baker, senior vice president and administrator of Children’s Hospital, attributes this recognition to the care provided by LLUCH employees.

“I am so grateful to each employee for their contributions to this important achievement,” he said. “Thank you for your professionalism and your dedicated caring for each baby, child, teenager, and mom who seeks our help in their time of need. You are once again spotlighted for serving our patients and their families in such an outstanding way.”

The annual rankings, compiled by U.S. News in collaboration with RTI International, a North Carolina-based research and consulting firm, provide valuable guidance for parents and physicians seeking the best care for children with rare or life-threatening conditions.

The evaluation process involved the comprehensive analysis of data collected from 108 children’s hospitals nationwide, along with extensive surveys completed by thousands of pediatric specialists. Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital has demonstrated outstanding performance in key areas such as clinical outcomes, the availability of advanced resources directly related to patient care, and the trusted opinions of pediatric specialists.
