Northridge Hospital Medical Center is a hospital in the Northridge district of Los Angeles, California, US. It is currently operated by Dignity Health.
History[edit]
The hospital was founded in 1955 by Dr. Frederick Gruneck as a 49-bed hospital with one emergency room.[1] In 1979 Northridge Hospital and Valley Hospital in Van Nuys created a joint parent company – HealthWest. HealthWest expanded to become a multi-hospital nonprofit.[2] In 1988, HealthWest merged with the Lutheran Hospital Society of Southern California, the parent company of California Hospital Medical Center, to form UniHealth.[3] The hospital was at the epicenter of the 1994 Northridge earthquake, but remained open to treat over 1,000 patients in the 48 hours following the earthquake. In 1995, Valley Hospital was merged into Northridge Hospital.[4] UniHealth struggled financially in the 1990s after acquiring physician groups in difficulties, and in 1998, UniHealth sold its hospitals to Catholic Healthcare West.[5] CHW became Dignity Health in 2012.
Services[edit]
The emergency department at Northridge Hospital Medical Center is one of only two in the San Fernando Valley that is certified as a trauma center and the only one that is a certified PEDIATRIC trauma center.[6] The Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Cancer Center is also located at the hospital.
