Nestled in the picturesque Inland Empire region, the city of Loma Linda is a true gem known not only for its stunning landscapes but also for its unparalleled dedication to healthcare and well-being. At the heart of this commitment lies the world-renowned Loma Linda Children's Hospital, a beacon of hope and healing for children and families from across the nation.

Loma Linda, with its population of around 24,000 residents, is a unique city that prides itself on the harmonious coexistence of healthcare and community. Known for its "Blue Zone" status, where residents tend to live longer and healthier lives, the city emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness. It's no surprise that Loma Linda Children's Hospital is a natural extension of this commitment.

Founded in 1993, Loma Linda Children's Hospital has established itself as a leading institution in pediatric healthcare. The hospital offers a comprehensive range of services, from neonatal care and cancer treatment to pediatric surgery and advanced imaging. Its team of highly skilled physicians, nurses, and support staff are dedicated to providing world-class care to every child who walks through its doors.

The hospital's dedication to research and innovation has been a driving force in its success. Loma Linda Children's Hospital is affiliated with Loma Linda University, a center of medical research and education that constantly pushes the boundaries of medical science. This collaboration allows the hospital to offer cutting-edge treatments and therapies, ensuring the best possible outcomes for young patients.

One of the notable features of the Loma Linda Children's Hospital is its commitment to whole-person care. In line with the city's broader philosophy of wellness, the hospital focuses not only on physical health but also on the emotional and spiritual needs of its young patients and their families. This holistic approach is exemplified in their Child Life program, which uses play and other creative techniques to help children understand and cope with their medical experiences.

Moreover, Loma Linda Children's Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and resources that make a significant difference in the lives of the children it serves. From the colorful and child-friendly interiors to the family-centered care approach, every aspect of the hospital is designed to create a supportive and healing environment.

Community engagement is another vital aspect of the hospital's mission. It actively participates in various outreach programs, advocating for child health and well-being not just within its walls but throughout the city of Loma Linda and beyond. Whether it's hosting health fairs or providing educational resources, the hospital plays an integral role in promoting a healthier community.

In recent years, Loma Linda Children's Hospital has garnered national recognition for its exceptional care. It consistently ranks among the top pediatric hospitals in the United States and has earned the respect and trust of countless families who have benefited from its services.

Loma Linda Children's Hospital is a testament to the city's unwavering commitment to health, wellness, and the well-being of its youngest residents. As both a medical and community asset, it stands as a symbol of hope and healing, making the city of Loma Linda a truly special place to live and receive care.

A residence shows visible damage from flooding, mud and debris following severe winter storms that began Dec. 23, which brought heavy rain and debris flows to mountain and high desert communities across San Bernardino County. This week, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved recovery-related fee waivers to help eligible property owners repair and rebuild as response and long-term recovery efforts continue.

Photo Caption: Crime in San Bernardino has dropped by 30 percent or more throughout the city. One reason is that there are more officers on the streets. The Police Department’s goal is to have 350 sworn officers. Current full-time staffing is reported at 295 sworn officers and 156 professional staff.
