Dedicated on Sunday, September 29, 1968 the new Childrens Hospital Los Angeles building provided a reassuring presence within the community. Here was a clear demonstration that an investment had been made in the future of the children of Southern California.
The hospital's front entrance was even used as the setting for television's "Marcus Welby, M.D." starring Robert Young.
To our family, this building became a visible symbol of hope. Less than a year after the new building was compeleted, our parents received the telephone call they had been waiting for: "We need for you to come to Los Angeles right now. We have a kidney for Darel."
