The Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has inaugurated a new Neurological Institute Outpatient Centre at its Sunset Boulevard campus in California, US.
The Neurological Institute Outpatient Centre is the result of four years of planning and support from patient families, CHLA team members, and hospital and Neurological Institute leaders.
