Community Benefits

Supporting Our Community

Community access to quality health care services has been a top priority for Torrance Memorial for more than 90 years. We evaluate the needs of our community on an on-going basis and plan for the future according to those needs. In keeping with our strategic mission, our Board-level Community Benefits Committee regularly reviews the medical center's Community Needs Assessment and makes recommendations that are the basis for this report.

Remaining strong and stable for the future is our foremost goal. We want to make certain that our community can continue to turn to us for the outstanding health services and vital community programs that have distinguished Torrance Memorial Medical Center since 1925. Keeping this care accessible to all is important to us as well.

Community Benefit programs must meet the following criteria:

Respond to a public health need
Involve education or research that improves overall community health
Respond to needs of special populations
Supply services or programs that would likely be discontinued if the decision was made solely on a financial basis because they operate at a financial loss
