Contents

Valley Children's also features the largest ACS verified Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center in the region, the only Level IV NICU in the Central Valley, and the only provider of pediatric extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for their service area. [12] [13] Valley Children's is one of the largest providers of pediatric health services in California and in the country. [14] The hospital is adjacent to the Ronald McDonald House of the Central Valley. [15] [16]

History

The organization was first founded on August 4, 1949, to help raise money to build a children's hospital. [17] The hospital later opened in 1952 at the intersection of Shields and Millbrook in central Fresno. In 1971 the regional NICU originally opened with a capacity eight beds. [18]

The hospital opened their pediatric emergency department in 1975 to provide comprehensive pediatric emergency services to the region. [19] In 1998 they moved to a 50 acre site in Madera County, on the other side of the San Joaquin River from Fresno. [18]

In 2002 Valley Children's Hospital was renamed Children's Hospital Central California and then in 2014, they changed their name back to Valley Children's Hospital. [20]

In 2014 the hospital had 12,695 pediatric inpatient admissions and performed 12,265 pediatric surgeries. [21]

In June 2015, Valley Children's Healthcare announced a decision to separate from UCSF Fresno and instead partner with Stanford University for medical education and research. [22] [23]

In 2018, the hospital was officially verified as a Level II pediatric trauma center by the American College of Surgeons, making them the only pediatric trauma center in the region. [24] [25] [26]

In late 2019 it was announced that Valley Children's Hospital had partnered with Universal Health Services to build a new 128-bed pediatric behavioral health hospital. [27] [28]

In early 2020, the hospital followed suit of hospitals all over the United States and implemented strict visitation protocols to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. [29] [30]

In 2024, Valley Children's Hospital executives received criticism for high compensation. As reported on the organization's Form 990, CEO Todd Suntrapak received compensation of over $5,000,000 in 2020 and 2021, with five other executives receiving compensation over $1,000,000, well above the average for similarly sized hospital systems. [31] [32] In addition, most of its legally mandated direct community investment was passed to its associated medical group, which was criticized by hospital finance experts as "gaming the system" and unusual. [33] Fresno city councilmembers Miguel Arias and Garry Bredefeld asked for the state attorney general to investigate, while a hospital spokesperson stated the large compensation in 2020 and 2021 was as a result of an accounting change. [34]
