Frequently Asked Questions

• The new Loma Linda University Medical Center tower is simply called the adult tower. The original Hinshaw Towers and the Schuman Pavilion make up the rest of the hospital.
• The new Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital tower is called Children's Hospital – East. The hospital also includes the original facilities, known as Children’s Hospital – West.
• The Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus is the name for the entirety of the new building. The medical campus includes the new adult tower, Children's Hospital – East and the shared five-story structure at their bases.

We learned Loma Linda University Medical Center — along with about half of the state's other hospitals — would soon not meet California's latest earthquake safety requirements for acute, inpatient care. To make sure we could continue serving our community, we started planning the new, earthquake-safe medical campus nearly a decade ago.

The newly completed Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus allows us to continue leading the region in healthcare. The adult and children’s hospital towers provide you with new services, more access to care, state-of-the-art technology and much more.

The new hospital towers have a lot to offer patients and their loved ones. Some of the most impactful features include:

• State-of-the-art facilities to support growing, evolving healthcare needs far into the future
• Improved services, like the San Manuel Maternity Pavilion, standalone emergency departments for adults and kids, 20 new operating rooms (plus two hybrid operating rooms) to treat the most complex conditions, and private patient rooms for a more comfortable healing experience
• Earthquake-ready construction that exceeds the state’s new requirements and keeps everyone in our hospitals as safe as possible
• Increased capacity for care, allowing us to serve more of our community than ever before
