Comprehensive Stroke Center
The Emergency Department is the entry point to our Stroke Program. USC Arcadia Hospital holds a Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification from independent rating agency DNV GL and is designated by Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services (LAC/EMS) as one of 18 comprehensive stroke centers serving the region. This expertise allows victims of stroke, who require immediate attention, to receive rapid care which greatly improves the opportunity for a successful patient outcome.
Designated Heart Attack Receiving Center
USC Arcadia Hospital is also designated by LAC/EMS as a dedicated heart attack, or STEMI, receiving center for diagnosing and quickly treating heart attack patients. Our highly qualified Chest Pain Team is available 24 hours a day to evaluate and relieve chest pain quickly. Whether you are having a heart attack or chest pain, our team is ready to perform a thorough examination and help you make critical changes that give patients a second chance at life.
Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP)
At USC Arcadia Hospital, we know the emergency care needs of children are different from adults. Children have a different spectrum of disease, and their smaller bodies require specialized medical procedures and equipment that take into account their size and age. Our team knows from training and experience that children in need of medical care do better when taken care of by caregivers who are trained to attend to both a child’s physical and emotional needs. That’s why USC Arcadia Hospital operates an Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics (EDAP) which meets specific standards established by the L.A. County Emergency Medical Services Agency (LAC/EMS) for the care of children age 14 and under.
