We’re Here for Our Communities.

With four hospitals in Los Angeles, California, we are focused on providing the care and service our communities deserve – including 24/7 emergency care.

Our staff, physicians and corporate leaders share a commitment to empower those in our communities to live the healthiest lives possible. Our patients are a diverse population living in underserved areas – individuals and families who come to us for quality care delivered with compassion. We believe every individual deserves just that.

We understand the impact we have on our neighbors and our potential to improve the overall health of the communities we serve. In a recent survey of employees across our Pipeline Health organization, employees told us that the work they do is meaningful to them. Survey respondents gave this statement an average score of 4.6 on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being “strongly agree.”

Inside our hospitals, our dedicated teams enjoy a family-like work environment as we serve our patients together. Employee engagement is a high priority as we are working to ensure that we have a work environment that employees enjoy, an environment where they can succeed.

Furthermore, our values define who we aspire to be. They guide us each and every day.
