There’s no place like the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children’s. We specialize in providing our patients—from infants through young adults—with the latest pediatric cancer treatments while staying focused on letting kids be kids.

In 2011, Children’s Hospital of Orange County was ranked in eight specialties in U.S. News Media Group’s Best Children’s Hospitals rankings. Among the more than 200 children's hospitals in the United States, the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children's ranked 28th in cancer treatment.
