Deets: The Stand for Kids Gala will celebrate women pushing healthcare frontiers and LuskinOIC’s enduring mission to advance health equity for every child in Los Angeles and beyond. Because more than 95% of their patients are underinsured, LuskinOIC relies on the enduring support of donors and dedicated sponsors. The gala will raise funds to help children while honoring global leaders and women of the LuskinOIC community which include donors, community partners, patient ambassadors, physicians and professionals who forge a path of excellence and compassion in all they do. LuskinOIC is a mission-driven organization that provides high-quality care for children with musculoskeletal injuries and disorders and advances patient-centered care worldwide. It also actively promotes medical education and scientific research in orthopaedics. In alliance with UCLA Health, LuskinOIC stands as the largest provider of pediatric orthopaedic care on the West Coast, receives more than 70,000 patient visits each year, and offers pro-bono treatment to patients in Calexico and Mexicali, among other cities worldwide.
