Hospital & Location

Hospital quality

Non-Profit

MemorialCare Miller Children's & Women's Hospital is part of MemorialCare, a non-profit, community-based health care system, and is one of only eight free-standing children's hospitals in California. By admitting more than 12,500 children and providing more than 80,000 outpatient clinic appointments each year, Miller Children's & Women's has become a regional pediatric destination for thousands of children who need specialized care in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. With maternal-fetal medicine specialists and neonatologists available 24/7, Miller Children's & Women's cares for women with high-risk pregnancies and premature infants under one roof. **Fraud Alert It has been brought to our attention that third parties posing as MemorialCare has been soliciting money from job seekers. An email address info@memorial-care.org has been communicating with applicants under false pretense. This is not an official MemorialCare email and you should ignore any communications associated with it. To help you avoid becoming a victim of this fraud, we wanted to make you aware of this situation and let you know that Memorialcare neither solicits money nor collects fees of any type from job applicants. If you feel you’ve been victimized, please report the scam to your local law enforcement authorities.
