About Huntington Hospital Senior Care Network

Mission

Our mission is to positively impact the health and well-being of adults in our community throughout the
care continuum.

Affiliation

Located in Pasadena, California, Huntington Hospital Senior Care Network is a department of Huntington Hospital, a 625-bed nonprofit community hospital that provides a full range of medical services from basic healthcare to highly specialized programs.

History

In 1984 Huntington Hospital received a generous bequest from the Margaret Bundy Scott Trust. The Trust agreed to an ambitious proposal to create a safety net for aging well that would fill critical resource gaps and bring fragmented services into "a totally integrated life-care system."

With the Trust providing the crucial support for an extensive planning and development effort, Senior Care Network formally began on December 1, 1984. In the first year, the hospital, its medical staff and the professional services community laid the foundation for a cooperative community network. Core programs supported by public and private funds, cutting-edge projects and planning grants were put in place. Huntington Hospital Senior Care Network, one of only a few hospital-based programs of its type, soon developed a local and national reputation for innovation, quality care and aging expertise.

Today the original concept of a "one-call service" that promotes health and planning for longevity, assists with connection to community resources, and enhances the skills of those who provide care is as timely as ever. Reaching thousands of individuals annually, Huntington Hospital Senior Care Network remains a model community care program meeting the diverse needs of older adults, adults with disabilities and their families.

Funding
