AJ’s Story

AJ Vandermade’s bright future involves helping people whenever they need it, just like his mom who happens to be a nurse at CHOC.

The new CHOC Children’s is the future itself, here now. Since our founding, CHOC has been meeting the needs of children and families with first-class care and state-of-the-art facilities. Now, by building one of the most advanced children’s hospitals in the world, we are defining the shape of things to come — for children’s care, for medical research, and for the community.
