Английская Википедия:Huntington Hospital
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 HMH, Huntington Hospital or (colloquially known as) Huntington.
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.
Only six years younger than Pasadena itself, Huntington Hospital has grown with the community they serve.
Their 24/7 specialist coverage ensures a hospital-based physician (hospitalist) is always available at the hospital for patients who need general, obstetrical or critical care. And as a leader in nursing care, they are one of only 10% of hospitals nationwide to have achieved Magnet designation, the gold standard in nursing.
Huntington is home to the largest emergency department and only level-II trauma center in the San Gabriel Valley – providing access to lifesaving emergency and trauma care 24/7. Their Family Birth Center and level-III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) give babies the safest start to life.
Leading cancer care, cardiology services, orthopedic care and advanced robotic surgery — among many other health care services — are available.
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]
Huntington Health is a teaching hospital that provides the best of both academic and community medicine. Huntington general surgery and internal medicine residents practice both in the inpatient and outpatient settings and are taught by renowned attending physicians, many of whom hold appointments at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California.
