Our Emergency Room offers a complete range of care backed by the depth of expertise at our award-winning hospital. We have access to additional specialists, subspecialists, and equipment reducing the need to be transferred to another hospital.

  • 24-Hour Obstetrical Services: Every expectant mom needs peace of mind knowing she'll receive the best possible care when the big day arrives. That's why Dignity Health - Northridge Hospital offers 24-Hour Obstetrical Services with the OB Hospitalist Group-the industry's largest dedicated OB/GYN hospitalist provider.

Learn how to perform “Hands-Only CPR”

If you need to perform CPR in an emergency, you will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love. The statistics:

  • 80% of out-of hospital cardiac arrests happening in private or residential settings 
  • Only 41 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest get the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives.   

The good news is that Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for sudden cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public and can double or event triple a person’s chance of survival.  

It only takes 60-seconds to learn how to save a life.  Watch the Hands-Only instructional video and share it with the important people in your life.
