Inglewood CA, May 2024 – 1924 was an eventful year! Hoof and Mouth Disease was epidemic in California. There was Plague in Los Angeles. It was a perfect time for Centinela Hospital Medical Center to open as Milton Hospital! Throughout the 60s and 70s the hospital upgraded infrastructure, added beds and advanced services, and served as the official hospital of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics! In 2000 the Tommy Lasorda Heart Institute opened, providing quality cardiac care for our community. In 2007 the hospital joined Prime Healthcare, bringing stability and investment, including vertical and horizontal infrastructure upgrades, seismic retrofitting and enhanced clinical services. More recently a $4M, state-of-the-art Cath Lab, a new E.D., new diagnostic equipment was added and in 2022 we became a teaching hospital, educating the next generation of physicians! Since 2007 Prime Healthcare has invested more than $166M in our hospital! We chose to mark this milestone during National Hospital Week, an annual event focused on celebrating our outstanding staff because without them, the hospital would be just a building. Since 1924, Centinela has provided exceptional medical care to millions of Los Angeles County residents, and we are ready to keep going into next century!
