About Us

A 377-bed, not-for-profit facility, the medical center offers both inpatient and outpatient health services, including a state-of-the-art cancer center, a heart center, orthopedics, neurosciences and rehabilitation services, women's and children's services, as well as providing our communities with a Level II Trauma Center.
Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, strategically located near the intersections of the 405, 5, 118 and 210 freeways, serves both the North San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys. We offer a full continuum of health care, from inpatient and outpatient services to home health care, health education and community outreach programs.

Nursing excellence continues to be a major focus at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. And nurses are a key part of our hospital’s decision-making as we manage healthcare reform and its focus on quality, affordability and access.
Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, historically, has a strong culture that provides the ability to adapt to change and move forward with innovative ideas. Shrinking financial resources, regionalization of operations within Providence's Southern California facilities and more regulatory requirements have increased our commitment to patient quality and care.
With the support from our leadership team, we continue to live up to our honor as a Magnet Hospital and our focus on excellent patient care provided by our nurses and physicians.
