Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Non-profit hospital in Beverly Grove, United States
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a nonprofit hospital in Beverly Grove that operates as an academic center and trauma facility for the greater Los Angeles area. It includes multiple buildings with operating rooms, intensive care units, outpatient clinics, research laboratories, and teaching areas for training new physicians.
It began in 1902 as a small hospital with twelve beds, founded by a Jewish charitable organization to offer free medical care. Over the decades it grew into one of the largest medical centers on the West Coast.
The hospital combines modern medicine with values rooted in the Jewish community, expressed through education programs and the design of its spaces. Visitors encounter this connection through artwork, wall panels, and the daily interaction of patients, staff, and families from all backgrounds.
The center offers around-the-clock emergency services, specialized trauma care, surgical departments, and a pediatric unit for patients from across Southern California. The extensive buildings are connected by covered walkways and elevators, making it possible to reach different areas in any weather.
In a pavilion opened in 2013, physicians work simultaneously with patients and in research laboratories located within the same building complex. This closeness aims to bring new treatments into practice faster by linking science and care directly.
