Latino Business
Chamber of Greater LA Honors Children's Hospital Los Angeles as Nonprofit
Business of the Year
LOS ANGELES, CA -- The Latino Business Chamber of Greater Los
Angeles (LBC-GLA) selected Children's Hospital Los Angeles as the Nonprofit
Business of the Year during its Third Annual Awards luncheon held this week in
downtown Los Angeles. The chamber presented Business of Year Awards to six
outstanding businesses and one nonprofit organization during the event.
"This year winning companies
represented the best and brightest of today's entrepreneurs--and they hold the
key to spurring economic revival, job generation and sustained growth,"
said Jorge Corralejo, chairman and CEO of the Latino Business Chamber of
Greater Los Angeles.
The prestigious awards recognize
the dedication, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit displayed by the Greater
Los Angeles' Latino business community. The key criteria upon which the
nominees were judged included business and income growth, innovation, community
involvement and excellence in industry.
The award to Children's Hospital
Los Angeles caps a tremendous year of expansion for the 110-year-old hospital.
In July 2011, a new era in pediatric and adolescent healthcare began when
Children's Hospital opened its new 317-bed, $636 million, state-of-the-art
hospital building. The 460,000-square-foot building, known as the Marion and
John E. Anderson Pavilion, is able to offer broader services to patients and
families and is one of the nation's premier medical facilities for children.
"We're grateful for this
recognition by the Latino business community which acknowledges the hard work
of all of our doctors, nurses and employees every day of the year," said
Richard D. Cordova, FACHE, president and CEO of Children's Hospital Los
Angeles. "As a community we believe we have designed and constructed the
perfect building to care for patients and their families for generations to
come. The Anderson Pavilion is truly a work of art and certainly a precious
jewel for the City of Los Angeles."
