What it says it does
Huntington Health stands for community. We stand for compassion. But more than anything, Huntington stands for health. Providing world-class health care is our specialty, and it's what we've been doing for the San Gabriel Valley since 1892. In August 2021, Huntington Hospital affiliated with Cedars-Sinai under the umbrella of Cedars-Sinai Health Systems. Our new name, Huntington Health, reflects the fact that we're more than just trusted hospital care. From primary care to emergency care and everything in between we offer a complete spectrum of care options. As a result of our affiliation with Cedars-Sinai, we have access to additional resources that further strengthen our ability to provide personalized, high-quality care. Our mission is to provide excellent health care and compassionate service to each person by bringing together outstanding physicians, caring nurses, professional staff and advanced technologies.
