Best Pediatric Neurologist Long Beach Near Me

4worldlovers: The Stramski Children’s Developmental Center at MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach cares for children — from birth to age 21 — with behavioral and developmental conditions, such as autism, Fragile X, ADHD/ADD, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, behavioral sleep conditions and craniofacial abnormalities, like cleft lip and palate. The Stramski Center often serves as the transitional care center for infants and toddlers, who have developmental delays following hospitalization in either the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit or Cherese Mari Laulhere Pediatric Intensive Care Unit — many times following the child’s care for years.

The Stramski Children’s Developmental Center was founded in 1975 by Dr. Geraldine A. Stramski, a developmental pediatrician who recognized the need for a team approach to the multiple health issues so often encountered in children with developmental conditions. For nearly 50 years, the Stramski Center has continued to provide comprehensive care and create specialized programs that address the unique needs of our patients, thanks in part to the generous support of our community. Major donors for the Stramski Center include the Steel Magnolias – an all-volunteer organization based in Long Beach. Through an annual golf tournament, signature gala and other imaginative events, the Steel Magnolias have raised more than $5.7 million over 25 years to benefit children and their families treated at the Stramski Center.
