Pacifica Hospital of the Valley (PHV) is a 231-bed safety net, acute care hospital located in Sun Valley. The hospital is Joint Commission Accredited and has been a major provider of health care to adults in the San Fernando Valley for over three decades. PHV offers a full range of inpatient services including: 24/7 emergency, acute, ICU, acute behavioral health (locked unit), acute medical/behavioral health (with and without COVID-19) and subacute/skilled nursing.
Outpatient services offered include: general medical, orthopedic and GI surgeries, laboratory, imaging and rehabilitation (physical, occupational and speech therapy).
The mission/vision of PHV is providing quality care to the most vulnerable and underserved community which covers approximately 15 zip codes in Los Angeles County and subacute referrals with as much as 400+ miles radius from PHV. The need in the immediate and distant communities is high, so PHV has been able to manage through its financial limitations by diversifying its portfolio with various managed care organizations and IPA groups.
Pacifica Hospital of the Valley is contracted with over 100 physicians who are highly trained specialists focused on providing state of the art medical care. From diagnosis to treatment and follow-up, physicians work in tandem to deliver care that is personalized to each patient.
Since the start of the pandemic in January 2020, Pacifica Hospital has undergone multiple surges with treating hundreds of COVID-19 patients. During this time of uncertainty, no playbook existed on how to navigate through this challenging period of time.
During the peak of the last surge in January 2021, PHV greenlit a new program partnering with the Department of Mental Health providing 26 beds for acute level patients who have a primary medical diagnosis with behavioral health issues. This new program services those patients with and without COVID-19. The referrals for this patient population continues to increase and with our collaborative efforts with DMH, the program has been very successful in meeting the needs of our mental health community. The hospital has over 25 years of experience in behavioral health and its staff is passionate about supporting and successfully providing services and continuing to expand its services for this growing population.
Precious Mayes, as president and CEO of Pacifica Hospital, brings extensive experience and business acumen in elevating world class medical care including the medical staff team to higher levels of personalized healthcare for the San Fernando Valley and the greater Los Angeles County. Mayes is the turnkey of the hospital to create new service lines to meet the needs of the communities served and work with state and federal agencies to obtain funding under HQAF and COVID-19 Provider Relief stimulus programs. As president and CEO, Mayes works closely with local elected officials in the City Council, Assembly, Senate and Congressional offices to advocate for the community and healthcare providers.
In summary, Pacifica Hospital of the Valley offers a robust level of services with the leadership team and staff proud for giving “H.E.A.R.T. to the patients at Pacifica Hospital of the Valley and the healthcare needs of the communities served.”
