New target date for Children's Hospital separate licensure

The process of obtaining separate licensure for LLU Children’s Hospital is moving forward with a timeline for an effective license date of November 1, 2014.

The original July 1 target date was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. However, efforts have continued and to date, significant accomplishments include:

  • Separation of the eight basic services, including a new Children’s Hospital pharmacy storage on unit 2800, distinct Children’s Hospital way finding and signage, a new kitchen and room-service program, distinct Children’s Hospital operating rooms and separate diagnostic radiology services
  • New Children’s Hospital facility in LLEAP
  • Separate financial/accounting structure for Children’s Hospital, and
  • Children’s Hospital policies and procedures.

The administrations thanks those involved in this process for their dedication and hard work.

Prior to November 1, outstanding major milestones to complete the separation include:

  • Completion of the new Children’s Hospital basic clinical lab on unit 3700
  • CDPH licensing survey

Additionally, the Joint Commission is expected to survey the Children’s Hospital any time after CDPH licensure.

Employees are asked to please continue their outstanding efforts and commitment toward this Board-approved institutional initiative. The flexibility and support as this transition is made are greatly appreciated.
