Dominican Hospital in California - United States

Dominican Hospital in Califonia has been a member of Catholic Healthcare West since 1988 and has a medical staff of about 400 physicians, and is a dual-campus network of quality-focused comprehensive care serving the health care needs of the Monterey Bay region. Dominican Hospital, a 379-bed, dual-campus facility, offers a wide range of services to residents of California's Central Coast. With 24/7 emergency care and some of the most technologically advanced diagnostic equipment on the Central Coast, the hospital continues to lead the region in medical innovation and excellence in healthcare.

In September 1941, responding to a request by the Monterey Bay area diocese of the Catholic Church, the Adrian Dominican Sisters of Adrian, Michigan, took over 18-bed Hanley Hospital on Santa Cruz's West Cliff Drive. It soon became known as, and was thereafter formally named, Sisters Hospital. Ten years later, the Sisters purchased Santa Cruz Hospital on Soquel Avenue near downtown from a physician group, and operated two hospitals to meet the needs of the growing community. To provide room for future growth, a 17-acre site was purchased on the outskirts of the city. The new Dominican Santa Cruz Hospital was formally dedicated in December 1967, and all services consolidated there. In 1990, Dominican purchased AMI Community Hospital in Santa Cruz, which was transformed into Dominican Rehabilitation Services. The two campuses provide a total of 379 acute care beds.
