Who
We
Are |
| Earl and Loraine Miller's love for the
Children of Long Beach prompted them to establish the Earl B.
and Loraine H. Miller Foundation as well as build the Miller
Children's Hospital. Since its
inception in 1967, the foundation has maintained its focus on
children and their health care needs within the Greater Long
Beach community. As the Foundation approached the new
millennium, the Board of Trustees conducted a "needs assessment"
for the children of Long Beach.
As a result, the board adopted the
concepts of the "treating the whole child" and the World Health
Organization's definition of health. These concepts were
integrated into the Foundations strategic plan. |

|
|
"Health is a state of complete
and
social well-being and not
merely
the absence of
disease
or infirmity."
