Miller Children's and Women's Hospital Long Beach is a non-profit children's hospital located on the campus of Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, California. Miller Children’s and Women's provides specialized pediatric care for children and young adults, with conditions ranging from common to complex as well as maternity care for expectant mothers all under one roof. Only five percent of all hospitals are children’s hospitals, making them unique not only to children’s health care needs in the community, but across the region. Miller Children’s and Women's is one of only eight free-standing children’s hospitals in California — treating more than 14,000 children each year — and has become a regional pediatric destination for more than 84,000 children, who need specialized care in the outpatient specialty and satellite centers.

In 2007, the hospital was named to Leapfrog's top hospital list for the second year in a row.[1]

The hospital first received Magnet designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) in 2013 and again in 2018.[2][3] Magnet designation distinguishes healthcare organizations that meet rigorous standards for nursing excellence, and it is the highest national recognition a healthcare organization can achieve for professional nursing practice excellence and quality patient care.
