About St. Mary Medical Center

St. Mary Medical Center has served the healthcare needs of Long Beach and its surrounding communities since 1923. Founded by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word of Houston, Texas, today's hospital is a realization of their vision to provide the highest quality of patient care in an environment where community service is key to fulfilling the mission. St. Mary's campus includes four medical office buildings, a health education/enhancement center and a 389 bed not-for-profit hospital, all with private rooms. Located on 18 acres in the heart of Long Beach, just blocks from the beach and the financial center downtown, St. Mary is uniquely positioned to serve the diverse needs of a busy and rapidly expanding metropolitan area.

The medical center offers the full-continuum of primary and secondary acute care services, including a trauma center and a base station approved for paramedics as well as an Emergency Department approved for Pediatrics. St. Mary has also met the rigorous standards for treatment times, clinical processes and quality outcomes to earn the distinction of STEMI Receiving Center designation for Cardiac treatment and Digital Catherization Lab services. Patients also have the benefit of access to a renowned Cancer Center and advanced Neurological and Neurosurgical diagnosis and treatment complemented by comprehensive Rehabilitation services.

More than 600 dedicated physicians and 1,250 employees are committed to St. Mary Medical Center in an effort to provide high quality, responsive medical care guided by a culture that values excellence and compassionate service in caring for patients and their families.
