Alhambra,CA- One of the most important services in any community is quality health care. The Alhambra Hospital Medical Center is a 144-bed acute care hospital dedicated to providing prompt, personalized, and high-quality service. The Center’s newly established cryosurgery center offers cutting edge treatments for cancerous legions, such as for liver cancer, by freezing tumors using high resolution ultrasound guidance. There are also many other medical offices located across the city, including a cluster on Garfield Avenue. As an example, the newly opened $7-million-dollar Pacific Orthopaedic Medical Center includes a surgical center and offices for orthopaedics and rehabilitation, oncology, medical imaging, and a pharmacy. In addition, Alhambra offers a complete array of senior services coordinated through the Joslyn Adult Center to help maintain the health and well-being of the city’s sizeable senior community. These activities include Senior Ride, group grocery runs, friendly visitor and home modification programs, free legal assistance, and senior nutrition programs. What’s more, the city has built four senior housing facilities. For those seeking specialized medical care, many other Southern California facilities are nearby, including Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, City of Hope, Huntington Memorial Hospital, San Gabriel Valley Medical Center, Los Angeles County USC Health Network, and UCLA Medical Center.
