Overview

Company Description

Proudly serving the 2 million residents of the San Fernando Valley for more than 55 years, Northridge Hospital Medical Center is a 411-bed not-for-profit hospital that stands as a leading provider of quality healthcare to the community. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accredits Northridge Hospital.

Since 1999, Northridge Hospital has been a member of Dignity Health, Formerly Catholic Healthcare West (CHW). 

Company History

 In the late 1940's, Dr. Frederick Gruneck, a retired physician, envisioned a major medical center for the then rapidly expanding orchard community of the San Fernando Valley, and pioneered the humble beginnings of this stellar community hospital in 1955. Starting out as a modest 49-bed hospital with a one-room emergency room, Northridge Hospital has grown with the San Fernando Valley - generation after generation. The single story hospital was located in the middle of a five acre field formerly occupied by cows and chickens—and was the only hospital in L.A. County “cooled by refrigerated air.”

Mission & Values

As a member of Dignity Health, Northridge Hospital Medical Center is committed to serving the health needs of our communities with particular attention to the needs of the poor, the disadvantaged and vulnerable, and the comfort of the suffering and dying. We have a commitment to quality - quality healthcare services and the promotion of optimal quality of life for all of life.
