As a world-class pediatric healthcare system, Rady Children’s Health Orange County (Rady Children’s), formerly CHOC, relies on philanthropy-driven resources to meet the urgent needs of children and families, and direct support to areas where the need—and promise—are highest.

The family-centered approach at Rady Children’s includes essential wraparound services not covered by insurance yet critical to caring for the whole patient and their family. Flexible funding enables us to provide these services designed specifically for kids and families, including spiritual care, sibling support groups, and art therapy that encourage healing and compassion in difficult times.

Support for our Greatest Needs fund also fuels Rady Children’s research studies. Our researchers collaborate with families and peers to develop new tests, treatments, and cures—transforming the future of pediatric care and addressing today’s major health concerns.

Greatest Needs funding is essential for recruiting top pediatric talent and implementing advanced technologies. Both priorities advance quality of care, improve patient outcomes, and place healthier futures within reach.

Each year, Rady Children’s provides more than $93 million in uncompensated care, ensuring every child receives the services they need, no matter their family’s circumstances. From resetting a broken bone to providing the latest cancer treatment and comprehensive wraparound services, the philanthropy-driven Greatest Needs fund helps us serve over a quarter million children annually.
