If You Had One Wish to Solve Pediatric Healthcare’s Greatest Challenges,
What Would It Be?
At CHOC, we support a culture of innovation that not only encourages our employees and physicians to dream up life-changing ideas, but also supports their development into fully functional programs.
Founded by the CHOC Foundation and its Board of Directors, One Wish Grants turn these wishes into reality by awarding funding to exceptional projects, ranging from $5,000 to $250,000. Innovator teams go through a rigorous pitch competition, where they present their ideas to a selection committee.
We are taking pediatric healthcare to new heights, and invite you to join us on this journey.
