From the Desk of Michael Sullivan at the LuskinOIC Innovation Campaign Headquarters
It is with enormous pride and joy that I announce a record-setting moment for LuskinOIC: the Everychild Foundation has awarded us a $1,000,000 grant to purchase our very first MRI. This gift is our first seven-figure grant from a Foundation in our 114-year history – a milestone that fills every one of us with hope and deep gratitude.
The generous grant is the capstone of our efforts to raise $2.1M for this innovative MRI unit.
Celebrating their 25th anniversary, the Everychild Foundation’s mission is to ease the suffering of children in the Greater Los Angeles area. The Everychild Foundation unites 200+ Los Angeles women, each contributing $6,000 annually, to fund one high-impact project that meets a critical unmet need of local children. Their generosity – and high expectations for measurable results – will ensure the Everychild Foundation MRI becomes a bright, tangible symbol of healing for our children.
Leveraging the buying power of our partners at UCLA to reduce the purchase price from $2.8M to $2.1M, we will procure a Siemens 3T MRI. It is the most advanced model on the market. We will also conduct sedation MRIs that only a few hospitals in LA offer. Today our kids wait an average of 2.5 months for an MRI but thanks to the members of the Everychild Foundation and the other 151 donors to this project, soon their wait will be less than 2.5 days! I would like to thank our board members for authorizing this project, Director Maureen Stockton for inspiring others to donate by making the first major gift for our MRI, and Dr. Scaduto for his vision to do as much as possible to end the suffering of vulnerable children. Led by Dr. Nick Bernthal, chair of the UCLA Dept. of Orthopaedic Surgery and Dr. Tony Scaduto, LuskinOIC president & CEO, we recently sent a team of 16 faculty, staff, board members and special guests to make a final presentation to the members of the Everychild Foundation. I am grateful for their impassioned presentation which resulted in LuskinOIC winning this competitive grant.
As we prepare to launch our $80M Innovation Campaign in June, this grant gives us real momentum during the final months of the quiet phase. During this time, we will continue to look to those closest to us to consider making their commitment in helping see LuskinOIC reach new, innovative heights.
We are profoundly grateful to the women of the Everychild Foundation and to each of the donors who invested in our first MRI. We pledge to put your philanthropy to work for the resilient children and families we serve. Together we are turning hope into healing, and history into a brighter future.

Knowing When to Seek Care for Your Child: A Guide from LuskinOIC
As a parent, your top priority is keeping your child safe and healthy. But when your child is sick or injured, it can be hard to know what level of care they need. Should you call your pediatrician, visit urgent care, or head straight to the emergency department?
For non-emergencies, your child’s pediatrician or a pediatric urgent care center is often the best place to start. If your child’s doctor isn’t available—such as during evenings or weekends—urgent care can provide fast, effective treatment. Contact your pediatrician or visit urgent care if your child has:

If your child is seriously injured or ill—especially if the condition may be life-threatening or needs immediate attention—take them to the emergency department (ED). Seek emergency care if your child:
Your child’s health matters. When in doubt, trust your instincts—and don’t hesitate to seek care. LuskinOIC is here to support your family with trusted pediatric expertise every step of the way.
