What Memorial Hospital Of Gardena, Inc. does

Memorial Hospital of Gardena, Inc., legally organized as Gardena Hospital, L.P., is a 172-bed for-profit acute and subacute community hospital located at 1145 W. Redondo Beach Boulevard in Gardena, California. Founded in 1953 and serving the community for more than 70 years, it operates as the only hospital in the Gardena area within a Pipeline Health System, LLC network of four Los Angeles-area hospitals with roughly 500 combined beds. The facility runs 103 acute beds and 69 subacute beds, a 24/7 Emergency Department recording 46,745 annual visits, and a multi-specialty clinical platform including Cardiology, Critical Care, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics (with a Personal Injury Spine Program), Primary Stroke Care (Joint Commission-certified), Pulmonary, Radiology and Imaging (including a Siemens Go Top 128-slice CT scanner), Rehabilitation, Surgical Services, Urology, and a CMS 5-star Subacute Unit.

The hospital's clinical technology stack is built around Altera Digital Health's Paragon Electronic Health Record under a seven-year enterprise contract covering Pipeline Health's four hospitals, supported by a centralized 24/7 Patient Hub transfer call center staffed by registered nurses that coordinates admissions and referrals across the network. Diagnostic capabilities are anchored by the 128-slice CT scanner and ACR-accredited imaging services. The hospital holds Joint Commission Primary Stroke Receiving Center and ACEP Geriatric Emergency Department (GEDA Bronze/Level 3) accreditations, and operates an inpatient hospice program unique among Pipeline Health facilities.

The revenue model is fee-for-service inpatient and outpatient care reimbursed through Medicare, Medi-Cal, HMOs, PPOs, and managed care organizations, with pricing set per service and insurer rather than publicly disclosed. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the 24/7 ER, community presence, physician referrals, and the network Patient Hub. The hospital is led by CEO Victor Carrasco (since May 2023) and CNO Traci Siler, RN (since September 2023), and has navigated parent-level restructuring including Pipeline Health's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2023.
