Children's Hospital Los Angeles is a non-profit, academic, pediatric medical center and treats over 93 000 children a year from Los Angeles County and around Southern California. The hospital is a Level I Trauma Center and annually triages over 3 000 patients some brought by air support. Its 40-bed Newborn and Infant Critical Care Unit provides innovative therapies for high-risk infants transferred from other hospitals throughout Southern California and beyond. The 20-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and the 15-bed Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit provide more pediatric critical care beds than any other hospital in the Western U.S. Through the Saban Research Institute, Children's Hospital Los Angeles conducts laboratory and clinical research to find ways to better diagnose, treat and prevent pediatric diseases.
Islands has created the “Miracle Menu,” which consists of the popular Spinach & Artichoke Dip, their signature burger, the Big Wave® with Cheese, and the Kona Pie. Ten percent from each item ordered will help reach a $100 000 donation goal. The "Miracle Menu" will be available through Sunday 12 June 2011.
