In light of USC Verdugo Hills Hospital’s recent announcement regarding the closure of its labor and delivery services, including its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Adventist Health Glendale seeks to assure the community that it is fully prepared to support and accommodate patients affected by this change.

“We are proud to offer high-quality, comprehensive maternity care in line with Southern California’s top healthcare institutions,” said Alice Issai, president of the Adventist Health Glendale & Simi Valley Service Area. “We’ve met the foothill communities’ needs for over a century. Patients can expect our expert care team to be here for them when needed.”

Adventist Health Glendale provides maternity care with 14 spacious, private birthing suites, experienced OB/GYNs on duty 24 hours a day, dedicated operating rooms for C-section deliveries and a state-of-the-art Level IIIa NICU.

“We want patients to have the best pregnancy journey possible and we’re committed to personalizing the experience to their needs and wishes,” said Grace Kwasman, Adventist Health Glendale’s administrative director of Women’s Services & Patient Experience. “Our labor and delivery experts are equipped for nearly every possible birthing scenario, so you can trust that you’ll welcome your little one in a safe, supportive environment.”
