Foothill Presbyterian Hospital
is located in the foothill community of Glendora, CA,
20 minutes east of Pasadena (home of the Rose Parade)
just off the 210 freeway. The modern-looking red brick
building sits on beautifully landscaped and manicured
grounds with green lawns, many trees and blooming
flowers and offers convenient, free parking. The front
entrance is flanked by the “Pledge of Allegiance”, a
statue which salutes patriotism and honors children. The
bronze statue piece is one of seven, the first of which
was commissioned by Barbara Bush.
Community Support
Foothill Presbyterian Hospital was built as the result
of the efforts of community members who had a dream of a
not-for-profit quality healthcare facility in Glendora.
A team worked for 5 years to secure the location and
raise the funds that resulted in FPH being built and
admitting its first patient in March of 1973.
Today, the hospital enjoys continued support from
community members who donate many hours by serving in
the Auxiliary, Adult and Junior Volunteer programs,
Men’s Club and on various boards and committees of the
hospital and The Foothill Foundation.
