General	Children's Hospital and Health Center San Diego	Since Children’s first opened its doors in 1954, our mission has been “to restore, sustain and enhance the health and developmental potential of children.” As the San Diego region’s only designated pediatric trauma center and the only area hospital dedicated solely to pediatric care, Children’s is helping San Diego prepare for the 21st century. Our goal is to help create a region where all children go to school healthy and ready to learn how to be productive, responsible citizens. Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders. Quality pediatric care requires specialized training and a special sensitivity that is perfected through caring for children 100 percent of the time. From mild illness and injury to the most severe medical emergency, Children’s specially qualified clinical staff and affiliated physicians provide a full continuum of care. From birth through adolescence, children have special health care needs that are different from those of adults. Their bodies respond differently to injury and illness. And most children do not understand – or know how to deal with – the experience of serious illness or hospitalization. Children’s responds to those needs by providing expert pediatric care within a unique healing environment. Rose PavilionOur healing environment, created with kids in mind, incorporates state-of-the-art technology with a climate of caring. Designed specifically to help kids get and stay healthy, Children's promotes healing and reduces anxiety through a unique combination of design, light, color and art. Within this environment of caring, children and their families become part of the healing process. In addition to caring for children at our main campus in Kearny Mesa, Children’s has 15 neighborhood centers offering primary care and specialized services. Children’s is also active in numerous community outreach programs, including health education, early intervention and counseling, child abuse prevention and child safety issues.

General	HOPE Infant Family Support Program	The HOPE Infant Family Support Program is a public special education program that offers services to infants and toddlers with special needs and their families. As part of California Early Start, the San Diego County Office of Education provides quality early intervention services through the HOPE Program. Services are offered at no cost to families. Why Early Intervention? The parent's relationship with his or her child is the most important factor in supporting development. Early intervention staff partner with a family to promote their child's development and learning in every day activities within their family and community. The HOPE staff will support each family to: * Explore ways to play and interact to promote their child's development. * Discuss issues relevant to their concerns, priorities and resources. * Connect with other families of children with special needs. * Incorporate learning opportunities into daily routines and activities. * Access other services.

Information and referral specialists are available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to noon. * Search our database online at www.InformSanDiego.org, which receives over 80,000 visitors annually. * Use INFO LINE’s various printed materials, such as our 470-page guide to health and human services called Directions and various brochures. INFO LINE’s phone and online services are free and confidential, and bilingual information and referral specialists are available for Spanish speakers.

General	San Diego Regional Center	The San Diego Regional Center is one of 21 regional centers developed for persons with developmental disabilities in the State of California. Regional centers were originally started as pilot projects in San Francisco and Los Angeles to assist persons with mental retardation and their families in locating and developing services and programs within their communities. The Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (California Welfare & Institution [W&I] Code Section 4500 et seq) provides the authority for the regional center system. Copies of the Lanterman legislation are available in each regional center office or can be viewed at www.dds.ca.gov. The San Diego Regional Center opened in 1969 and serves people living within the geographic boundaries of San Diego and Imperial Counties. The Regional Center serves as a focal point within the community through which a person with a developmental disability and his or her family can obtain services and/or be referred to appropriate community resources in the fields of health, welfare and education. It is the philosophy of the Regional Center that each consumer shall be provided with the maximum opportunity to participate in everyday living experiences that permit development to the highest potential. Who We Serve Any resident of San Diego or Imperial Counties believed to have a developmental disability, believed to be at high risk of parenting an infant with a developmental disability, or any infant at high risk of having a developmental disability may receive Intake services through San Diego Regional Center. Anyone may direct a person suspected of having a developmental disability to the San Diego Regional Center. Formal application, however, must be made by an adult applicant, parent, conservator or legal guardian. Residents of Imperial County apply for services at the Regional Center office in Imperial. Residents of San Diego County apply through the Intake Department at the main office of the San Diego Regional Center.
