Talk:List of hospitals in California

[Untitled]

The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) keeps lists of all accredited health care facilities in the state. These are available here, under the Facility Data and Facility Listings by Type.

Many on this list do not contain the word “Hospital”; many (appears to be close to or more than 50%) only have “Medical Center.” It would seem logical then that the title of this list should be “List of Healthcare Facilities in California” or “List of Hospitals and Medical Centers in California.” Hummer61 (talk) 20:56, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Closed hospitals on the list

Apparently a lot of the hospitals on this list have been added from their listings on commercial websites, many of which contain out-of-date information. I've found many hospitals on the list which are closed—some for several years. It's better to stick to the official list from the State of California, linked above. Lists of hospitals that have closed are available from California Hospital Association (statewide) and from Hospital Association of Southern California. Rather than remove them from the list just yet, I've noted some of the closed hospitals in Los Angeles County. Maybe closed hospitals should have a separate Wikipedia list, to help counter the outdated information from all those commercial websites that show up in search engine results.

The California Hospital Association's website is badly arranged, so it's difficult to find the document listing closed hospitals. Here's a direct link to the .pdf. The HASC site has their list (in .pdf) easily available from a drop-down menu that appears when you mouse over "Quick Links" on their main page. Whyaduck 14:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

All hospitals in California, open or closed, should be on this list, especially if it has a page. Ng.j (talk) 07:47, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I see no issue with closed hospitals listed here, as long as there is a reliable citation (and/or related WP article to show notability) and the listing is clearly marked with the date of closure. I came to this page to read about the former State of California public asylum locations and found so many of them are missing from this article, I added a few today.

Morningside

Morningside Hospital, Los Angeles. Closed. Assuming this map is correct the hospital was at 33.9587°N 118.3074°W / 33.9587; -118.3074 and has now been redeveloped as the Harvard Yard Apartments. Already has two substantive incoming links. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Los Angeles County

I added hidden suggestions for which hospitals are considered North, and which are South. I think that dividing the hospitals by the 10 freeway is the easiest thing to do. That seems to be the easiest landmark that cuts East-West across the whole county, and probably requires the least amount of moving. Cmcnicoll 10:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I would not have split L.A. County's list to begin with, despite it being the longest of the lot. I doubt that many (if any) people will ever use the list for any practical purpose, but the arbitrary split would probably be bothersome for any who might. That said, I don't consider the more sensible complete list worth the trouble it would take to restore it (at least the trouble I would have to take). But I still see several hospitals not conforming to the arbitrary I10 split. All of the City of Monterey Park, for example, is south of I10, and all of Glendora is north of it, but both communities are firmly part of the San Gabriel Valley. Rancho Los Amigos Hospital is somewhere near Norwalk or Downey as I recall, so belongs on the south list. West Covina is split by the freeway, and I'm not sure which side of it the hospitals there are located, but Covina is entirely north of the freeway, so the two campuses of Citrus Valley Hospital may or may not belong on the same list, but if they do it would have to be the north list. It's likely there are many more errors I've not spotted. Having the list split has probably guaranteed that it will be an ongoing pig's breakfast. Whyaduck 04:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
