Community Outreach

Promoting Wellness

As a nonprofit hospital, Huntington Hospital is dedicated to providing quality medical care and outreach services to meet the needs of all those we serve. The community of Huntington is widely diversified in culture, ethnicity, age and socioeconomic status. The primary service area of the Community Outreach department is Altadena, Pasadena, San Marino, and South Pasadena.

In an effort to increase the health and wellness of our community, the Community Outreach department provides a comprehensive schedule of health programs and services. These community benefits programs include health education seminars and screenings for breast, colon, and prostate cancer, Registered Nurse health counseling and screenings at community centers, preventative services such as flu vaccines, diabetes education, asthma and obesity management, and other wellness programs. Our staff is active all year participating in community, church, and school health fairs and events. Through these staff interactions, a triennial community needs assessment, and via the hospital community benefits committee (consisting of community leaders), Huntington learns about community needs.

To maximize the effectiveness of community benefit, Community Outreach partners with many community-based organizations, health clinics and schools. Collaborations optimize resources, assets, and skills to achieve shared goals in meeting the needs of the community. Our collaborative partners help us reach out to our diverse community to provide tools for self-empowerment and wellness.
