Luskin Orthopaedic Institute for Children
Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children (LOIC) was founded in 1911 as a clinic for children with crippling disorders. The mission then is the same today: provide excellence in orthopedic care regardless of the family's ability to pay. LOIC is the largest privately funded specialty facility of its kind in the Western US. With a team of experts dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with musculoskeletal disorders, it is the pre-eminent provider of pediatric orthopedic care, education and research. Las Amigas is dedicated to supporting LOIC and its mission.
