Arcadia-based Methodist Hospital of Southern California officially joined Keck Medicine of USC as an affiliated hospital and was renamed USC Arcadia Hospital, reports Los Angeles Business Journal.
The hospital is a 348-bed full-service community acute care facility that includes emergency services, cancer and cardiac care, inpatient and outpatient surgery, and maternity services.
It was originally founded in downtown Los Angeles in 1903 by the Women’s Home Missionary Society of the Southern California Conference of the Methodist Church. The current Arcadia hospital campus opened in 1957.
Keck Medicine is USC’s nonprofit medical care subsidiary, providing clinical care to patients throughout much of Los Angeles County, as well as academic and research programs. It operates Keck Hospital of USC, USC Norris Cancer Hospital, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital and more than 80 outpatient locations in Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Tulare, and Ventura counties.
As an affiliate, USC Arcadia Hospital will retain the assets it had under its Methodist Hospital name while falling within Keck Medicine’s organizational structure. Read more.
