Saddleback definitely is highly committed to the quality care of patients.
The facility is beautiful.
The rooms are very nice.
They all have this gorgeous view.
The technology is state of the art.
You have everything as soon as information becomes available.
The main reason why I stay here is the people.
There is no comparison to other hospitals.
Saddleback Memorial Laguna Hills campus has 252 acute care beds.
We have several centers of excellence.
We have the women’s center of excellence,
a very strong neo-natal intensive care unit.
We have a very strong critical care, 22 bed ICU unit.
And we’re known for our centers of excellence heart care
as well as oncology, surgery and orthopedics.
The patients setup at Memorial Hospital Laguna Hills
is to enhance health and wellbeing of our families
and the community through the pursuit of excellence in healthcare.
We go above and beyond.
We do the little things that the patient is not even really expecting.
Anybody that I work with, they always add a little extra touch.
Because of our location right next to Laguna Woods,
we do have a very elderly population and so I think if a nurse really
is interested in taking care of geriatric care
it would be a place she would really want to come.
It adds an extra challenge as a nurse
because you’re not only taking care of the broken bone,
you’re taking care of the diabetes or the pneumonia.
They are from all over the world.
They come here to retire and it’s just a lot of history,
a lot of wisdom behind these patients.
There have been nurses on our floor that have been there
30 some years and still love it and don’t want to change.
I think that says amazing things about the hospital and the way it's run.
Our management here is very supportive.
Education is big.
They are always encouraging you to do more to get certifications.
We have training on our campus, we provide new grad training.
We have nursing schools that work on our campus
and we’re very open to anyone in trying to raise their education.
We provide tuition reimbursement and programs for the employee as well.
Saddleback uses our best practices as far as evidence based medicine.
So we do what is best for the patient’s condition.
Technology here at Saddleback is just top of the line.
When I first came in they were starting the EPIC.
It is computerized charting.
It’s very convenient.
It’s user friendly, you have the computer right in the room.
You never have to leave the patient.
AcuDose is another machine that we use
and it’s able to hold most of the medications used on the floor.
It’s safe because it uses our fingerprint to identify us.
The facility has these great amenities.
You come in and it looks like a hotel room.
It is very nice.
Everything is hidden and then when the time comes to deliver the baby,
it turns into a labor room.
The hospital is a perfect medium size.
It’s not so small where you feel like you're kind of confined
and it is not too big to where you feel like you’re lost in the crowd.
It’s a perfect happy medium.
It’s just a great place to work.
You are part of a team and you feel important and appreciated.
Exceptional people.
Extraordinary care.
Every time.
