We’re thrilled to share that our generous supporter QueensCare Foundation has awarded $85,000—their largest gift in our 11-year partnership— in support of Luskin Orthopaedic Institute for Children’s Trauma Care Program.
Established in 1998, QueensCare provides charitable grants to healthcare agencies serving the low-income communities of Los Angeles with the goal of alleviating healthcare disparities throughout the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area. This gift will not only support pediatric patients who endure fractures and sports injuries, but also children who come to LuskinOIC on their worst day, looking to us for long-awaited pain relief and academic-level care, no matter what their family’s financial circumstances may be.
We remain deeply grateful to the leadership of QueensCare to support our kids as they Grow Well and Play Well.
