Maternal Health Services Closure Public Notice
(July 25, 2023) Centinela Hospital Medical Center has had the privilege of delivering tens of thousands of babies to Inglewood families, and the decision to close our program means we will redirect resources to where there is a greater community need. The demand for maternal health services at our hospital is not what it once was, and this leads us to focus on growing other essential services based on community needs. Serving the healthcare needs of our patients today and into the future, remains our top priority. Our community depends on us, and we will continue to invest in services that are most critically needed. Click here to read the Maternal Child Services Closure Public Notice

Caring for our Community
Centinela Hospital Medical Center is proud to serve our thriving community and is committed to supporting our community’s needs as they evolve over the years. Through mid-October, Centinela Hospital’s Maternal Child Department will continue to support the care, development, and well-being of pregnant women, new parents, and their babies. At the same time, we are planning to expand our capacity to care for patients with varying healthcare needs. Centinela Hospital is pleased to offer growing families an affiliated Women and Children’s Center of Excellence at nearby St. Francis Medical Center, a member hospital of Prime Healthcare.
Both facilities are Welcome Baby participating hospitals. Funded by First 5 LA, Welcome Baby offers pregnant women in Los Angeles County information, support, and resources during pregnancy, following delivery, and up through the baby’s first critical months. The program aims to strengthen and support Los Angeles County neighborhoods and families by providing resources and access to activities that support the care, development, and well-being of pregnant women, new parents, and their babies.
