History
editIn December late 2012, Los Alamitos Medical Center was dropped by Health Net, after Tenet Healthcare wanted a higher reimbursement rate.[2][3]
On September 20, 2019, registered nurses from the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee went on a one-day strike at the hospital, they protested that there were not enough nurses to take care of patients.[4][5][6]
In late October 2020, employees belonging to SEIU United Healthcare Workers West threatened a 1-day strike at the hospital due to COVID-19 safety measures.[7][8]
In January 2021, Los Alamitos Medical Center had a temporary medical tent constructed in its parking lot to treat COVID-19 patients.[9][10] In late August, caregivers approved a new contract for hire pay and benefits, ending their strike.[11][12][13]
On February 1, 2024, UCI Health, part of the University of California, Irvine agreed to purchase Los Alamitos Medical Center from Tenet Healthcare.[14][15][16] On March 27, UCI Health officially took over the management of Los Alamitos Medical Center[17][18][19] and rebranded it to UCI Health - Los Alamitos.
