Huntington Health, an Affiliate of Cedars-Sinai is a 544-bed, not-for-profit hospital in Pasadena, California. The hospital originally opened as Pasadena Hospital, though the official name of the hospital is Pasadena Hospital DBA (doing business as) Huntington Memorial Hospital, known locally as Huntington Hospital, Huntington, or sometimes HMH.[ citation needed ]

Contents

In the 1930s Pasadena Hospital was awarded two million dollars from the estate of Henry Edwards Huntington, a Southern California businessman and booster, and as a result, the common name of the hospital was changed.

Huntington is home to the largest emergency department and only level-II trauma center in the San Gabriel Valley.

Overview

Huntington Health is a non-profit, community-based medical center, which provides acute medical care and community services to the western San Gabriel Valley and nearby communities. [1] In 2021, Huntington Hospital provided approximately $135 million in qualified community benefits, directed at vulnerable populations, education and training and charity care.

From 1933 to 2002, the hospital was one of two facilities serving the city of Pasadena. Huntington served most of the downtown communities, spanning through much of western Pasadena, and St. Luke Medical Center was originally opened to serve the eastern half of the city until its closure in 2002. [2]

First established in 1983, the Huntington Hospital Center for Trauma Care is the only level II trauma center serving the San Gabriel Valley, and one of 13 trauma centers in Los Angeles County. Designated a Level II trauma center, the hospital provides trauma care and medevac capability 24/7 via its rooftop helipad. Huntington offers the only Regional Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the San Gabriel Valley.

In the late 1980s, a new emergency department, along with a new maternity department were built and opened in 1991. Then, a new inpatient tower, known as the east tower opened in 1998, [3] and the inpatient west tower was built and opened in 2008. A larger emergency department was opened in 2014. It was part of the hospital's campaign fund made possible by residents of the greater Pasadena area to build these new buildings to meet the earthquake safety requirements.

In 2020, the hospital signed an agreement to join the Cedars-Sinai Health System. [4]

Accreditation

Fully accredited by the Joint Commission, [5] Huntington Hospital has advanced certification as a Comprehensive Stroke Center and participates in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. [6] It has received Blue Distinction in cardiac care, hip and knee replacement surgery [7] and is considered a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery. [8] The Huntington Hospital Cancer Center has received the Outstanding Achievement Award from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. [9]
