While the world is watching the World Cup, we're watching Liam score!

After one of his appointments in the Outpatient Infusion Unit, our Child Life team wanted to give him a moment of joy and normalcy, and for Liam, that means soccer.

Soccer is one of Liam's greatest passions. He hopes to go pro one day, but right now, he has his eyes set on making his high school team. We have a feeling he'll do just that.

We're cheering you on, Liam!

It was a joy to host the Bob Baker Marionette Theater for a one-of-a-kind performance right here in Orange!

Patients and families got to enjoy an up-close and interactive experience and were even able to use their own creativity by making custom marionettes and hand puppets.

"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.

Thank you, Dr. Bob!
