Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center
Speaker – Chris Aldworth, Vice President of Planning, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center
In 2014 Pomona Valley Hospital was asked to join the Los Angeles County Trauma Center network, which greatly increases survival in severe emergencies. Chris will discuss the reasons why, the work needed to be done to become qualified, and the results we have seen since going live in the spring of this year. Chris led the hospital’s efforts to form a Trauma Center and rejoin the Los Angeles County Trauma Network, which began operations on March 1, 2017. A graduate of the University of La Verne, Chris has administrative responsibility for the hospital’s Strategic and Master Planning activities. Chris also serves as President of the Board of Directors for the ParkTree Community Health Center, a local Federally Qualified Health Center with offices in Pomona and Ontario. He has also served on the boards of a number of local health organizations such as Inland Hospice, Project SISTER and Chair of Strategic Planning for Pilgrim Place Continuing Care Retirement Community.
