[edit] Overview
Huntington Memorial Hospital is a Non-profit, community-based medical center, which provides acute medical care and community services to the San Gabriel Valley and nearby communities.[1] The 635-bed hospital is a world class destination for the treatment of epilepsy, prostate cancer, robotic minimally invasive surgery and bariatric surgery. In 2009, Huntington Hospital provided approximately $55 million in qualified community benefits, directed at vulnerable populations, health research, education and training and charity care. Approximately $20 million of additional support was provided on behalf of Medicare patients.[2] First established in 1983, the Huntington Hospital Center for Trauma Care is the only 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 pediatric intensive care unit and only Regional Level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the San Gabriel Valley. It is a teaching affiliate of the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine and is accredited by the Joint Commission. Eight community groups assist the hospital by hosting annual fundraisers, staffing the gift shop, sponsoring new equipment, supporting medical research, and paying for the renovation of patient care areas. These groups raise thousands of dollars annually and include: Altadena Guild, The Fall Food and Wine Committee, La Canada Flintridge Guild,[3] H.E.A.R.T., National Charity League Juniors,[4] San Marino Guild, and the Women's Auxiliary.
