Supporting Patients Beyond Discharge
Huntington Hospital recently expanded care beyond its walls with the launch of the Huntington Health Discharge Care Center (HH DCC), an innovative pilot program supporting patients during one of the most vulnerable phases of care after they return home. Focused on patients at high risk of readmission, the program provides clinical guidance, care coordination and access to essential resources, promoting safe recovery and reducing the likelihood of returning to the hospital.
Care transition programs like the HH DCC are increasingly recognized as a national best practice, and the pilot underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering data-informed, patient-centered care. HH DCC reflects a shared hospital-wide commitment to improving patient outcomes and ensuring patients continue to receive the support they need beyond discharge.
During the initial phase, the HH DCC team will proactively identify and reach out to eligible patients based on defined criteria, with the goal of creating a more connected, responsive experience for those served.

Here When Every Second Counts
Huntington Hospital plays a vital role in caring for the community, delivering rapid, lifesaving treatment when every second counts. As home to the longest-running Level II trauma center in the San Gabriel Valley, we provide 24/7 access to highly specialized care for patients with severe, time-sensitive injuries. This work is powered by a multidisciplinary
team of trauma surgeons, nurses, coordinators, social workers, and case management professionals, working together to ensure timely, high-quality, patient-centered care.
To strengthen care for patients with serious injuries, we recently introduced a specialized trauma nursing team in our emergency department, focused on delivering consistent, high-quality support during the earliest, most critical moments of care. Team members also participated in a dedicated Trauma Skills Day, featuring hands-on training and expert-led instruction to further support learning.
Huntington Hospital relies on donor support to help ensure lifesaving trauma care is available when it is needed most. To learn more, visit huntingtonhealth.org/trauma.
