Rady Children's Health - Orange County

"I try to make them feel seen, heard, and safe."

After treating nearly 100,000 patients, Dr. Robert Kaplan of Los Alamitos Pediatrics is hanging up his white coat. Throughout his 52 years as part of the primary care network, his philosophy never wavered, and neither did the trust his families placed in him.

Rady Children’s Health in Orange County is proud to be the first in the United States to adopt Philips Ambient Experience with Disney themes—an immersive MRI experience designed to help children feel calmer, more comfortable and more empowered during imaging exams.

By combining Philips’ innovative technology with beloved Disney stories and characters, patients and families receive an added layer of comfort and ease with familiar soothing visuals, lighting and sound.

As a leader in pediatric radiology, Rady Children’s Health is committed to advancing care that elevate both clinical care and the patient experience. We’re honored to be among the first to collaborate with Philips and Disney on this global initiative that is reimagining pediatric imagining for children everywhere.

Every day, our nurses show up to help patients and families feel seen, supported and heard. These are just a few of the words that reflect the “why” behind what they do each day.

Five oncology nurses at Rady Children’s Health share a bond that goes far beyond the unit they work on: they were once cancer patients themselves.

Having stood where their patients stand now, they understand the fear, hope, and resilience that come with a cancer journey. Today, they’re using that experience to care for kids and families through the moments that matter most.

Meet the five nurses whose stories are a powerful reminder that a future is possible. Link in comments!
