Many children have more than one health issue, which previously required families to travel to various specialty medical offices scattered around Long Beach. Now, more than 30 different types of specialty physicians and a variety of medical services are centralized in the Cherese Marie Laulhere Children’s Village – making the health care experience more convenient and efficient for thousands of children and families across the region who need specialized pediatric care each year.

The Cherese Mari Laulhere Children’s Village at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, celebrated a major milestone – its one year anniversary on Feb. 22.
