UCI Health - Los Alamitos is a for-profit hospital in Los Alamitos, California. It was formerly owned by health care provider Tenet Healthcare and is now owned by UC Irvine Health.
History
[edit]In December 2012, Los Alamitos Medical Center was dropped by Health Net, after Tenet Healthcare wanted a higher reimbursement rate.[1][2]
On September 20, 2019, registered nurses from the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee went on a one-day strike at the hospital, they protested that there were not enough nurses to take care of patients.[3][4][5]
In January 2021, Los Alamitos Medical Center had a temporary medical tent constructed in its parking lot to treat COVID-19 patients.[6][7] In late August, caregivers approved a new contract for hire pay and benefits, ending their strike.[8][9][10]
On February 1, 2024, UCI Health, part of the University of California, Irvine agreed to purchase Los Alamitos Medical Center from Tenet Healthcare.[11][12][13] On March 27, UCI Health officially took over the management of Los Alamitos Medical Center[14][15][16] and rebranded it to UCI Health - Los Alamitos.
