[edit] History

Huntington Hospital is a non-profit, community-based medical center, which provides a full complement of acute medical care and community services. The hospital is a regional center for trauma, neonatology and high-risk perinatal care and offers the only pediatric intensive care unit in the San Gabriel Valley region. It is a teaching affiliate of the University of Southern California School of Medicine and is accredited by the Joint Commission. Eight community groups assist the hospital in many ways -- staffing the gift shop, sponsoring new equipment, supporting medical research and renovating patient care areas. These support groups annually raise approximately $450,000 and include: Altadena Guild; The Circle of Huntington Memorial Hospital; Fall Food and Wine Committee; La Canada Flintridge Guild; H.E.A.R.T.; National Charity League Juniors; San Marino Guild and the Women's Auxiliary.
