A Message From Our President

Health care is not a casual decision. Choosing a health care provider means putting one's whole trust in someone else's expertise. For the individual, it means saying to the provider, "I entrust my care to your skills. I expect the best." For employers or health care payors, that concern is magnified--often by the thousands--as entire workforces depend on the utmost quality in health services.

MemorialCare makes the health care decision easier. Our hospitals and physicians in Los Angeles and Orange Counties provide excellent service and care -- and it's excellence that's documented by extensive outcome studies. Individually, these hospitals are among the finest in the Southland. Together, they form a network that is gaining national prominence for documented distinction in health care delivery.

At the heart of our hospitals is our brand of service we call MemorialCare. An innovative concept in health care delivery, MemorialCare is created by physicians and other health care professionals study the best practices in medicine and work to implement them at our medical centers. The results are outcomes that frequently surpass state and national outcomes for many major diagnostic groups.

It is with great pride that we offer our patients MemorialCare. We are confident that it is the standard of excellence in health care.
