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.
