Grossman Burn Center Moving to West Hills Hospital

Grossman Burn Center will be relocating from its longtime home at Sherman Oaks Hospital to West Hills Hospital & Medical Center during the first months of 2010. “We are excited about the affiliation with West Hills Hospital and the growth and development opportunities this brings to us and our community.” said Dr. Peter H. Grossman, co-director of the Grossman Burn Centers, in a statement. Grossman made the announcement in conjunction with West Hills Chief Executive Beverly Gilmore Aug. 31. The Burn Center will move to its new location just as the West Hills Hospital & Medical Center is completing a $60 million expansion, projected to open in the spring of 2010. The expansion includes a new Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit and outpatient services. It will be the largest Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit in the San Fernando Valley. Well known for treating high-profile burn victims, Grossman Burn Center offers services that include acute care, reconstruction, rehabilitation and psychological counseling. Outside of the San Fernando Valley, Grossman centers are also located in Santa Ana and Bakersfield, as well as in Lafayette, La. West Hills Hospital & Medical Center is owned by Tennessee-based HCA Inc., also known as the Hospital Corporation of America, which owns nine facilities in California. Sherman Oaks Hospital was acquired in 2006 by Prime Healthcare Services Inc.
