The right care at the right place.

We know having a sick child is scary and understanding where to go for care can be confusing. CHOC has two emergency departments, multiple urgent care sites and a network of primary care locations throughout Orange County. Learn which location is best for your child and what to expect before heading to the hospital.

At CHOC, Long Live Childhood is our mantra. It is our rallying cry. We live it. We breathe it. We practice it. Every day. In every way. That’s why we’ve assembled a mighty brigade of pediatric experts, researchers, premier facilities and generous donors dedicated to giving kids the best chance of growing into healthy and happy adults.
