UCLA Health has recently completed the acquisition of a 260-bed hospital from HCA Healthcare’s Far West division. The hospital, formerly known as West Hills Hospital and Medical Center, has now been renamed UCLA West Valley Medical Center.
This strategic move is part of UCLA Health’s plan to address inpatient capacity needs in the region. By acquiring a well-established hospital like West Hills, UCLA Health aims to enhance its healthcare services and meet the growing demand for high-quality medical care.
One of the key decisions made as part of the acquisition is to retain the majority of healthcare professionals and support staff who were previously employed by HCA Healthcare at West Hills. This move ensures continuity of care and services for patients while integrating the expertise of the existing staff into UCLA Health’s operations.
The acquisition of UCLA West Valley Medical Center marks a significant milestone for UCLA Health as it expands its network of hospitals and healthcare facilities in the Los Angeles area. This strategic move reinforces UCLA Health’s commitment to providing top-notch medical services and improving the overall health and well-being of the community.
