"This truly transformative gift comes at a time when demand is growing quickly – particularly among underserved children in Southern California – both for pediatric neurological care as wll as interventional radiology's broad range of minimally invasive procedures," said CHLA President and CEO Paul Viviano.

"I am beyond grateful for the generosity of this gift, one of the largest single donations in the hospital's history, and one that invests in healthier futures for the infants, children and youth we serve."

A portion of the gift will help fund the creation of a new multidisciplinary Neurological Institute Outpatient Center.

The other component of the gift will enhance CHLA's Interventional Radiology capacity through purchase of new technology and an overhaul of existing diagnostic and treatment space.

Founded in 1901, Children's Hospital Los Angeles is ranked the top children's hospital in California and fifth in the nation for clinical excellence.
