St. Jude Medical Center is a faith-based, not-for-profit hospital, located in Fullerton, California. Established by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange in 1957, the 320-bed acute-care medical center has earned a reputation for clinic excellence and award-winning care.
The hospital's 670-physician medical staff includes nearly every specialty and subspecialty, while its highly-skilled nurses, technologists, therapists and support staff offer a certification and advanced degree rate that significantly exceeds national averages. In addition to neurointerventional and cardiac catheterization labs and a Level-III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, St. Jude Medical Center offers specialized critical care units staffed 24/7 by board-certified intensivists.
St. Jude is one of a few hospitals in the nation to be recognized by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center, a designation used to identify hospitals who consistently meet quality and time-standards in treating stroke and cerebrovascular disease. The medical center is also among the eight percent of U.S. hospitals to receive Magnet Designation for nursing excellence. Part of the St. Joseph Health System, St. Jude Medical Center serves as a quaternary and referral center for a variety of patient services, including one of California's only accredited programs in spinal cord injury, brain injury, and comprehensive stroke rehabilitation. Other areas of specialty include: high- and low-risk maternity, digestive diseases and GI surgery, orthopedics and joint replacement, neurosciences, women's health, rehabilitation, cardiac care, robotic and minimally-invasive surgery, and cancer care.
