Decided to settle in Gardena California in order to provide quality care to all types of children from varying communities and socio economic backgrounds. Private practice located at: 1141 W.

Why YJF?

“For thirty years I have supported Dr. Hogan’s commitment to continue to fight against obesity personally and now within the community. Being a part of the Youthful Joy Foundation will allow children and parents to become more educated about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. This will allow the families to have all the tools necessary to benefit mentally and physically from their own personal success. I’m truly excited about being a part of this team.“ – Stacye Langford

We strive to evoke change in the lives of our youth by positively impacting their physical, emotional and mental health.
