 The CHOC Signature Initiatives Overview
The CHOC Signature Initiatives will help to care for the children of Orange
County by responding to the pressures of growth, adding new dimensions
of quality to existing programs, and promoting CHOC’s nationwide leadership in pediatrics. |
| Individual Initiatives: |
| |
New
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) will
stay ahead of skyrocketing demand; a new Cardiovascular
Intensive
Care Unit will spearhead a model of care that focuses on
the entire family. |
| |
Leadership Endowments will
secure the future, making it possible for selected CHOC programs
to assume a national role in patient care. |
| |
Next
Generation Fellowships will train physicians
for the future – and help to remedy
the disturbing shortage of pediatric physicians. |
| |
Nursing Excellence Incentives will
add to successful efforts that recruit, develop, retain – and
reward – outstanding nurses. |
| |
Outpatient Clinic Renovation will
maximize convenience for patients and families; growth in patient
volume is projected to be more than 120,000 visits
per year by 2010. |
| |
New CHOC at Mission Emergency Department improves emergency
care for kids in the fast-growing South County area. Features
comforting surroundings, advanced monitoring equipment, and
a Child Life program. |
| |
New Adolescent Cancer Care Suite will be an environment tailored
to the medical and social needs of an age group too often overlooked
by traditional cancer care settings. |
| |
Child Life Program successfully reduces the understandable
stress that kids – and their parents – often experience
at hospitals. |
| |
CHOC
Breathmobile™ travels to schools throughout Orange
County, offering screening and follow-up care aimed at asthma,
the most common chronic disease among children. |
| |
kidsCARE Fund is indispensable to Clinical care, Advancement,
