MemorialCare Health System Named Among Top 50 U.S. Health Systems

MemorialCare Health System, a nonprofit integrated delivery system based in Fountain Valley, with six hospitals and more than 200 care locations in Orange and Los Angeles counties, was named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s “50 Great Health Systems to Know in the United States.”

Health systems selected range in size and location and are tied together in their pursuit to provide high quality health care to the communities they serve, according to Becker’s Hospital Review, a prominent national media company. MemorialCare is the only health system based in Orange and Los Angeles Counties to receive this recognition.

Selection to this prestigious list is based on clinical and general excellence, national awards and recognition, quality and safety and responses from health leaders from across the country on what systems stood out in terms of overall excellence.

“MemorialCare is proud to receive this outstanding recognition on behalf of our 15,000 employees, affiliated physicians and volunteers who contributed to this enormous achievement,” says Barry Arbuckle, Ph.D., President & CEO of MemorialCare Health System, a pioneer and innovator in evidence-based, best-practice medicine. MemorialCare physicians and health professionals study health care’s best practices and work to implement them at all its medical centers, outpatient facilities and physician practices. The results are outcomes that frequently surpass national and state averages.

MemorialCare’s ongoing strategic efforts focus on expanding its integrated delivery system to cover all aspects of the care continuum, from wellness and prevention to diagnosis and treatment--keeping people healthy and caring for them when they’re not. MemorialCare shares wellness services with other employers wanting to make the kinds of gains in employee wellness and engagement that MemorialCare’s comprehensive employee wellness programs are achieving.

MemorialCare Health System includes six top hospitals--Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in Laguna Hills and San Clemente; Long Beach Memorial, Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach and Community Hospital Long Beach; MemorialCare Medical Group and Greater Newport Physicians
