In addition, CHA HPMC is the only hospital in Los Angeles to be recognized for three consecutive years within the top 1% of nation’s hospitals that deliver superior patient outcomes in back and neck surgeries and spinal fusion.

“We are extremely proud to achieve this distinction which recognizes our commitment to improving the health of our patients and communities we serve, while ensuring utmost patient safety. Advanced level of care, latest technology, and the dedication and collaborative effort of our top doctors, clinical teams, and support staff has helped us maintain the level of excellence even during these challenging times. The importance of hospital quality is now on every patient’s mind during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and this recognition is a testament to our highest standards of care and the quality of our healthcare team,” said Marcel Loh, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

At CHA HPMC, patients can receive care from nationally renowned spine surgeons who provide specialized surgical services utilizing minimally invasive, computer-assisted techniques to optimize clinical outcomes and patient experience, while reducing surgical invasiveness and length of hospital stay. The hospital will increase its surgical capacity with the opening of its state-of-the-art, $400 million new patient tower at the end of 2022. The new tower will feature technologically advanced surgical suites and new operating rooms to treat more patients in private rooms.

“CHA HPMC offers some of the most advanced surgical technologies than any other hospitals, which enables us—as surgeons—to provide the best care possible to our patients. The new surgical suites will further enhance the bandwidth of offerings for patients and help us optimize the efficiency of our care services,” said Dr. Sun H.
