LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Saint John's Health Center has been a treasure in Santa Monica for nearly 75 years. During those eight decades, we've developed and expanded, just like the vibrant community surrounding us. Now I'm delighted to announce another significant step in our growth: plans for a state-of-the-art medical clinic in Playa Vista.
The new clinic, slated for opening next year, will also include primary care, pediatrics, obstetrics, cardiology and other subspecialities. The clinic will give residents of Playa Vista, Marina del Rey and adjacent neighborhoods convenient access to the outstanding primary and specialty medical services that Saint John’s has long been known for. The community is already served by Playa Vista Urgent Care, which is also part of our health care system.
While planning for this exciting expansion, we are also mindful to honor our history and the 1942 founding of the hospital by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. Later this year, we will hold events to celebrate Saint John's 75th diamond anniversary. This milestone is an opportunity for us to remember our past, and the many hard-working people who shaped Saint John's, while contemplating our future service to the community.
Anniversaries also invite us to pause and give thanks. When I review the recent progress at Saint John’s, I'm so grateful for the ongoing collaboration between the Health Center and the Foundation. This strong relationship is vital to our ability to provide top-ranked health care in a comfortable, compassionate setting. You, our friends and supporters, are an integral part of this partnership. Because of your involvement, we continue to get even better and can do more for the community we love. With utmost respect,
MARCEL LOH Chief Executive Providence Saint John’s Health Center and John Wayne Cancer Institute
