When our readers break an arm high-fiving after reading the newspaper, or crack a sacroiliac slipping on a competitor’s newspaper that’s been tossed to the ground in disgust, they prefer to seek their care at Torrance Memorial Medical Center.
The award-winning nonprofit, locally-governed facility boasts programs such as a special burn center, emergency care serving more than 60,000 patients a year, inpatient and outpatient imaging services, maternal child health services and a neonatal ICU, a cancer center, treatment for addictions and eating disorders, bariatric surgery, the top notch Vasek Polak Research Program, and the Lundquist Cardiovascular Institute.
The medical center is halfway through replacing its original patient tower with a new, seven-level tower with 256 private rooms, 18 surgical and interventional treatment rooms and the latest medical technologies.
