Pediatric Anesthesiology Foundation

Since its founding in 1968 by visionary members of the Department of Anesthesiology at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the Pediatric Anesthesiology Foundation has been dedicated to advancing education, innovation, and excellence in pediatric anesthesia. Our mission is to foster continuous learning and collaboration within the anesthesia community, empowering healthcare professionals to enhance patient care and improve outcomes for children undergoing surgery. A cornerstone of our efforts is the Clinical Conference in Pediatric Anesthesiology, a tradition spanning over six decades. As the longest-running pediatric anesthesia conference in the United States, it serves as a premier platform for education, bringing together experts, practitioners, and thought leaders from around the world. The conference offers a unique opportunity to share cutting-edge research, explore emerging practices, and discuss the evolving challenges and advancements in the field. Through the Foundation's work, we are not only shaping the future of pediatric anesthesiology but also honoring our commitment to better healthcare for children. Our programs support the professional development of physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals, fostering an environment where best practices are shared, and knowledge is continuously expanded. The Pediatric Anesthesiology Foundation remains steadfast in its goal to be a leader in pediatric anesthesia education and to uphold the high standards set by our founders. As we look ahead, we continue to champion initiatives that enhance the quality of care for the youngest and most vulnerable patients
