Think Local, Support the Historic Heart of

our Community This Holiday Season

Dignity Health is devoted to serving the changing needs of Kern County, which is why we

continue to expand and improve our services and facilities, both inside and outside our hospital

walls. This year, Memorial Hospital opened the areas only Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at

the Lauren Small Childrens Medical Center and welcomed patients and visitors through

the new Einstein Pavilion. Mercy Southwest

unveiled its stunning and unique vertical garden,

one of only a handful in the state, and expanded

its Emergency Room, adding 8 state-of-art private

patient rooms. At Mercy Downtown, the new Pavilion

Garden takes center stage located just o the

hospitals lobby.

As Kerns largest healthcare provider, we are

committed to a healthier community, oering agrowing list of wellness and preventive programs,

screenings and events. Dignity Health proudly

partners with many of our local sports teams such as

the JAM, Condors and CSUB athletics to create local

programs designed to decrease childhood obesity,

encourage physi-

cal activity and

support those

committed to

living happier,

healthier lives.
