Histori
La Palma Intercommunity Hospital was established as a public-care hospital in 1972 and has undergone several ownership changes since its inception.
One of the first changes occurred in 1988 when nonprofit hospital owners, HealthWest Foundation of Chatsworth, combined their services with other non-profit Southern California healthcare provider LHS Corp. to create UniHealth America.
UniHealth America continued to operate the LPH until 1998 when UniHealth faced financial challenges and was acquired by Catholic Healthcare West (CHW).
The LPH operation under the auspices of Catholic Healthcare West was short, when the Catholic system divested the LPH and other nearby Orange County hospitals, Martin Luther Hospital Anaheim, to MemorialCare Health Systems after less than a year under the control of the CHW. At that time, operators discussed plans to consolidate services from two hospitals and the potential to convert LPH to non-acute health care.
The MemorialCare Health Systems plan for LPH never materialized because the nonprofit-based Long Beach sold the facility in December 1999 to search for the Vanguard Health System, ending the LPH status as a non-profit facility.
Prime Healthcare Services purchased La Palma Intercommunity Hospital on October 1, 2006 from Vanguard Health Systems, along with two Orange County acute care facilities, West Anaheim Medical Center and Huntington Beach Hospital, in a $ 40 million deal.
