Children’s Hospital recognized by Becker’s for its outstanding heart program

Loma Linda University Children's Hospital (LLUCH) has been named in Becker's 2025 "Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Heart Programs" list. This annual list highlights 100 hospitals and institutes that demonstrate excellence in heart and vascular care.

Programs recognized on this list, including LLUCH, are noted for strong patient outcomes, highly trained cardiovascular teams, and ongoing efforts to advance care through research, innovation, and collaboration. These contributions continue to positively impact children and families locally and across the country.

"Caring for our heart patients with compassion, safety, and excellence is at the heart of our mission," said Peter Baker, JD, MBA, senior vice president and administrator of Children's Hospital.

"Being recognized by Becker's among the nation's great heart programs reaffirms the commitment our teams bring to every child and family. This recognition inspires us to further strengthen our efforts and ensure that every family receives the highest quality of care."

Becker's Hospital Review is a leading source for healthcare decision-makers. To compile this list, the Becker's Hospital Review editorial team reviewed national rankings and recognitions from organizations such as U.S. News & World Report, The Leapfrog Group, and others.
