Saddleback Medical Center

Saddleback Medical Center is continually honored for exceptional medical expertise that offers high quality, compassionate care for patients and families at every stage of their lives. For over forty years, South Orange County residents of all ages have entrusted us with their health care needs.

Our centers of excellence are renowned for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer, heart disease, stroke, pulmonary disease, orthopedics and diabetes; and for our leadership in emergency medicine, breast health, surgery including robotic-assisted procedures, advanced imaging, women’s health and geriatric care.

The Women’s Hospital at Saddleback Medical Center is extraordinary and offers personalized obstetrics care and a highly regarded perinatal program and neonatal intensive care unit that specialize in high-risk pregnancies and caring for fragile newborns.

Saddleback Medical Center has been named a Best Regional Hospital by U.S. News & World Report and a Becker’s Healthcare Top Hospital. Additionally we’ve received the American Heart Association Get with the Guidelines highest honor - Gold Plus for cardiac and stroke care. We’ve consistently been voted by Orange County Register readers as Best Orange County hospital in the annual competition.

In 1969, residents of the growing community of Leisure World (now Laguna Woods) realized they would need a hospital, and went door to door collecting funds to build Saddleback Medical Center. Saddleback Medical Center Foundation carries on our philanthropic legacy by partnering with generous individuals, corporations and foundations to raise funds on behalf of the hospital and our patients. This enables us to stay on the leading edge of medical advancements and technology, and continuously improve programs and services to elevate patient care.
