Our Administration
At Shriners Children's Southern California, our distinguished leadership team works collaboratively to ensure that children have access to the highest quality of pediatric medical and surgical care and rehabilitation.
Janet Amirkhanian, RN, MSN, PHN, is the director of patient care services/nurse executive at Shriners Children’s Southern California. She is an experienced health care leader with over 22 years of nursing experience. She approaches leadership with a focus on the “team approach” while helping to develop staff members in a way that maximizes their individual strengths. Amirkhanian takes great pride in striving to build a culture of excellence, teamwork, patient safety and employee satisfaction; all while maintaining a family-focused environment for the patients and families she serves.
From her early exposure to nursing as an oncology staff nurse, Amirkhanian continued her nursing education. She earned a Master of Science in nursing from California State University Long Beach and is currently pursuing a Nursing Doctorate degree at Duquesne University. Prior to joining the team at Shriners Children’s Southern California, she was the director of the John Wayne Cancer Clinics at Providence Saint John’s Health Center.
When Amirkhanian is not working, she loves spending time with her husband and their three children.
