History

It was founded in 1950 as the UCLA Department of Pediatrics and was located in the Marion Davies wing of the old UCLA Medical Center, which was named after Marion Davies donated $1.8 million to fund the construction. [8] The wing was operational starting in 1962, renamed in 1998, until moving into the new hospital in 2008. The Marion Davies wing included a 20-bed pediatric intensive care unit, 23 bed level 3 neonatal intensive care unit, a 77-bed general pediatrics ward, [9] and a children's outpatient center. [10] The hospital became a member of the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions as a hospital within a hospital.

In 1994 the medical center was damaged by the 1994 Northridge earthquakes and administration started planning for a rebuild. Executives from Mattel donated $25 million to help fund the development of the children's hospital, and UCLA stated that the donation covered 75% of the construction of their pediatric facilities. [11] The name of "UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital" was given to the hospital to honor the donations from Mattel, Inc.

In 2011 it was revealed that some patient data from Mattel Children's was stolen when criminals broke into a doctors house and stole a hard drive of patient information. [12]

Large donations for the hospital have also come from celebrities throughout Hollywood including Gwyneth Paltrow and Alexandra and Sean Parker who raised $2.5 million from various events. [13]

In 2017, Mattel donated $50 million to the hospital to help expand pediatric services and fund pediatric medical research at the hospital. [14] The single donation was the largest ever made to UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital. [15] The donation is also believed to be the largest ever made by Mattel. [16]
