NOTE: COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving situation. Check our COVID-19 page for the most up-to-date information.

As the leader in creating community well-being, we are dedicated to remaining a trusted source of information for you and your family as the new coronavirus (COVID-19) impacts our local communities.

New viruses cause uncertainty, and even fear. As the tested resource for our community during previous infectious diseases (MERS, SARS, H1N1 for examples), we are prepared to respond to this novel virus with our partners at Pasadena Public Health and our medical community.

Your health is our priority. We have the necessary precautions in place to protect our patients, physicians and employees. We have a highly skilled team of infectious disease specialists with experience treating new and emerging diseases. Our executive and leadership teams are in close daily contact with public health authorities to remain at the ready.

How can you get ready? You can begin by staying calm and learning more from fact-based resources about what you do to keep yourself, your loved ones and your community safe.

The availability of testing remains limited though it is evolving quickly, should you have concerns we ask that you please contact your physician and allow them to direct next steps. We stand ready to care for those patients that need hospital level intervention.  We are ready to assist with support should public testing be necessary as determined by public health authorities.

Huntington Hospital is standing by to provide excellent, compassionate care to our community. Thank you for allowing us to be your partner in health.

Sincerely,

Lori J. Morgan, MD, MBA, President and CEO, Huntington Hospital
