The El Camino Health Board of Directors unanimously approved a $149 million capital improvement project, which includes renovations and improvements to El Camino Health’s women’s health and maternity center - which houses labor and delivery, a neonatal intensive care unit and women's services.
Like many other clinical departments at El Camino Health, Imaging Services works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is focused on providing high-quality, personalized services to patients quickly and efficiently.
During the pandemic, clinical staff must wear additional protective equipment as a barrier against COVID-19. Being a patient in a hospital during a pandemic can be a stressful experience for patients, and anxiety can increase even more when patients cannot see the faces of the people who are treating them.
Working behind the scenes, and often right in the middle of the front lines, employees in the Patient Experience Department strive to ensure that all patients and visitors have the very best experience possible whenever they visit El Camino Health.
While El Camino Health's most important mission is to "heal, relieve suffering and advance wellness" of the community and its patients, equally important is ensuring that its employees, especially front-line workers, stay healthy in the fight against COVID-19.
