Dr. Edward T. Himeno was preeminent child psychiatrist between approximately 1958 and 1987. He was a graduate of Loma Linda University Medical School and went on to work for many years as the Director of Child Psychiatry at Loma Linda University. Dr. Himeno was also a child predator – sexually abusing multiple young boys that he was treating as patients.
At various times, Himeno was also affiliated with the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center (also known as County/USC, LAC+USC, and sometimes still referred to by its former name Los Angeles County General) and Riverside General Hospital in Riverside, California. Himeno also had a private practice in Monterey Park and Huntington Beach, California.
Answering Questions of Survivors Abused by Dr. Edward Himeno
Dr. Edward Himeno was educated at Loma Linda University and worked for many years as a psychiatrist at Loma Linda University Medical Center. It was there that Himeno came in contact with his first known victims -- young boys who were his patients.
Both Loma Linda University and its Medical Center are Seventh-day Adventist institutions. Loma Linda University began in 1905 when one of the founders of Seventh-day Adventism, Ellen G. White, worked together with other church leaders to purchase the property and develop what became known as the Loma Linda Sanitarium. The 11-story Loma Linda University Medical Center opened in July 1967. Later in 1993, the Loma Linda University Children's Hospital was completed, holding nearly 900 beds.
