Began treating children in 1911. Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital began treating Los Angeles’ disabled children in 1911. The pioneering practice was first located in a converted horse stable located next to the current Outpatient Clinic at 2400 S. Flower Street, Los Angeles. The Hospital’s Charitable Children’s Guild and its auxiliaries raised enough money to help convert the one-time horse stable into clinic rooms and, ultimately, a hospital.

One of the largest of its kind. LA Orthopaedic is the largest privately-funded orthopedic specialty facility of its kind in the Western United States.

We’ve raised more than $1 million to date. Las Amigas de las Lomas celebrates its 55th year as an auxiliary charity of the Charitable Children’s Guild, and has alone raised more than $1 million to-date. Las Amigas de las Lomas celebrates its indelible link with the Hospital’s humble beginnings each year with its annual Horse Show and silent auction.

No child is ever turned away. Volunteer fundraising efforts have helped to ensure that no child is ever turned away because of their family’s inability to pay.

Las Amigas de las Lomas funded programs and equipment to-date include: a new Library and Arts & Crafts Room, new Hospital Playground, and the establishment of the Pediatric Wheelchair Fund and the Fund for Charitable Care for Children.
