Working at Torrance Memorial

In the course of 75 years, Torrance Memorial Medical Center has grown to be the largest and most modern medical center in the South Bay area. We are a 380-bed, nonprofit medical center where 50,000 people a year turn for healthcare, 47,000 people a year visit the Emergency Department, and 350 babies per month begin life. Our services include acute care, outpatient surgery and diagnostics, an on-site skilled nursing facility, and home health and hospice.

As a hospital committed to leading the industry in quality and service, we have won many awards of recognition. We were named one of the top 100 cardiovascular hospitals in the nation (HCIA, Inc.), one of only seven hospitals in California to receive the Blue Ribbon Hospital Award (Pacific Business Group on Health), one of the top three cardiology programs in Los Angeles (America's Health Network and HCIA, Inc.), one of the Top 100 Hospitals in the U.S. (HCIA, Inc. and Mercer Health) and the #1 hospital in the South Bay (The Daily Breeze).

At Torrance Memorial Medical Center, we prove our commitment to our patients though our special programs and services. These include Cardiac Care, a comprehensive Cancer Center, the most up-to-date linear accelerator in the South Bay, a Laser Surgery Center, an Endoscopy, Biliary and Pancreatic program, a Burn Center, a Wound Care Center, and an Intensive Care Newborn Nursery.

We also prove our commitment to our employees by providing them with meaningful work in a highly professional environment. We equip our facilities with the best tools possible, including a computerized patient care information system (Power Chart), a coordinated care system that allows nurses to create a comprehensive, interdisciplinary treatment plan, and a sophisticated electronic mail system.

We want our employees to be their best. Whether their goal is to become better at what they already do or to advance to a management position, we offer many programs and benefits to assist in their success. These include tuition reimbursement, educational grants, group merit bonuses, individualized orientation programs, continuing education, career ladders, a sophisticated Process Improvement program, and in-house training for specialty areas.

We also reward their skills and dedication by offering competitive salaries and annual increases, generous medical, dental, vision and life insurance benefits, a liberal paid time off program, tax-deferred annuity with employer contribution, a pension plan paid for entirely by Torrance Memorial, on-site, 24-hour-a-day mildly ill child care (TLC Unit), free parking, and major employee discounts on all in-house services.

Location is also a benefit to working at Torrance Memorial Medical Center. The South Bay is an exciting, diverse and vibrant place to live, offering world-renowned beaches, rolling hillsides and mild Southern California temperatures which make outdoor recreation and gardening possible year round. California boasts a number of world-class athletic teams, such as the Dodgers, Angels, Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Mighty Ducks, in addition to a variety of cultural attractions such as the Los Angeles Music Center, the Hollywood Bowl and the Staples Center.

With more than 20 outstanding universities and colleges and a plethora of museums, including The Getty Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Armand Hammer Museum, present in the region, there is little that the greater Los Angeles area does not offer.
