“Congratulations to Los Angeles County’s “Hospital of Miracles” on its “Hospital of the Year” award from the Los Angeles Business Journal. Rancho’s success is a true testament to the hardworking doctors, staff and patients who make miracles happen each and every day. Each year, Rancho helps thousands of patients recover from catastrophic injuries and illnesses, and is consistently ranked as one of America’s best hospital’s by U.S. News & World Report. Whether by inspiring a patient’s recovery through physical therapy and helping them stand on their own for the first time or boosting their self-esteem through art, Rancho provides the absolute best care. I am proud of my entire Rancho family for this extraordinary honor.”
