Event attendee Carla Flores, age 9, and Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Rosalio J Lopez MD MBA operate on a “patient” during a friendly game similar to Operation at PIH Health Hospital - Downey’s one-year anniversary event last Saturday. “The Downey hospital campus has been a cornerstone of the community for more than 90 years and PIH Health plans to preserve that legacy,” said Brian Smolskis, chief operating officer of PIH Health Hospital - Downey. “We will continue to offer high-quality hospital care at the same location.”

This hospital is part of a larger healthcare system that includes PIH Health Hospital - Whittier, nearly two dozen medical office buildings located throughout the community and a multi-specialty medical group.

PIH Health has a service area of 2.1 million lives – a population that is larger than 15 U.S. states.
