Centers of Excellence
Besides a highly skilled and well-trained staff, CVMC also uses the
latest technology and procedures to provide our patients with high
quality medical care. And we offer additionally specialized
treatment and care through our “Centers of Excellence.”
The Family Birth & Newborn Center
– This beautiful 100,000
square-foot building, built in 2000, is located on the grounds of
our Queen of the Valley Campus. It offers a family-centered approach
to maternal, neonatal and pediatric care. New moms enjoy private
rooms with garden views and access to the most current treatments.
It is also the home of our 40-bed Level II Newborn Intensive Care
Unit, whose transport team brings in babies from other area
hospitals who require our specialized care.
Citrus
Valley Heart Center
– Located at the Inter-Community Campus, this Center boasts the only
open-heart surgery program in the East San Gabriel Valley. Our
outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program and a state-of-the-art
cardiac catheterization laboratory support this well-respected
center. A second lab is under construction and scheduled to open by
January 2004.
The Citrus
Valley Cancer Center & The Cancer Resource Center
– This combined program offers complete education, diagnosis,
treatment and support services to oncology patients. They are also
kept apprised of ongoing clinical cancer trials and can participate,
when eligible.
Emergency
Departments
– With more than 54,000 visits annually, one of Southern
California’s busiest emergency departments is located at the Queen
of the Valley Campus. The emergency department at Inter-Community is
also very busy, with a high percentage of patients coming in through
its Chest Pain Emergency Unit.
Outpatient
Diabetes Education Program
- The staff of nurses, dietitians and counselors provides
participants with the information they need to effectively manage
their diabetes. Instruction includes nutrition, exercise, and stress
management, home glucose monitoring, and learning to live with
diabetes. This program is recognized and approved by the American
Diabetes Association as a Center of Excellence for diabetes
education.
