PIH Health

Located directly on the Whittier hospital campus, the building will consolidate a broad range of outpatient services in one location, enhancing convenience for patients and strengthening collaboration among clinical teams.

Strategic Planning and Market Alignment

To ensure the development aligns with long‑term community needs, PIH Health and Boldt conducted a systemwide master planning initiative. Over three months, the partners reviewed inpatient and outpatient service lines and evaluated them against 30‑year market projections for the greater Los Angeles region.

This planning effort allowed PIH Health to:

• Identify anticipated demand shifts across specialties
• Optimize service distribution across its broader market
• Determine which specialties should be expanded, consolidated, or newly introduced on the Whittier campus

The new MOB is a direct outcome of this strategic assessment and is designed to complement PIH Health’s regional network of hospitals and outpatient centers.

Comprehensive Specialty Care

The facility will house an array of in‑demand outpatient specialties, including:

• Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC)
• Eye Clinic
• Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Clinic
• Neurosurgery Clinic
• Vascular Surgery Clinic
• General Surgery Clinic
• Infusion Clinic with Lab
• Hematology & Oncology Services
• Urology Clinic

By bringing these services together, patients will benefit from fewer trips, streamlined care pathways, and improved coordination among providers.

Community and System Impact

The project is positioned to deliver significant value to the Whittier community and surrounding areas:

• Expanded Access: Patients will be able to receive specialty care closer to home, reducing the need to travel across multiple campuses or neighborhoods for consultations and outpatient treatments.

• Improved Care Coordination: Co‑locating diagnostics, infusion services, and multiple specialties supports more efficient care planning, follow‑up, and communication across clinical teams.

• Optimized Hospital Resources: Shifting high‑volume outpatient services into a dedicated MOB allows PIH Health to preserve inpatient capacity for more acute cases and enhances overall operational efficiency.

• Local Economic Benefits: The modern facility reinforces the Whittier campus as a regional hub for healthcare services, supporting job creation and attracting continued investment to the surrounding community.
