Mission Community Hospital
Mission Community Hospital (MCH) is a safety-net, nonprofit community hospital, providing a full range of medical, surgical, psychiatric and 24/7 emergency room care. Of the 1.8 million people who reside in the San Fernando Valley (CA), nearly half have no health insurance. MCH ensures that people receive quality healthcare compassionately regardless of their ability to pay. The work we do is not merely meaningful, but critical. MCH is the oldest hospital in the San Fernando Valley. We opened in 1923. In 2003, we reopened the newly built 145-bed facility located on Roscoe. We operate an Acute Care and Behavioral Health services through the 60-bed Inpatient unit, which is one of the largest in Los Angeles.
