Huntington Health Affiliation Celebrates Third Year

Recently passing its third year of affiliation with Cedars-Sinai Health System, Huntington Health continues to improve patient care through an expanded network of specialists and resources that leverage leading-edge technology, while also creating new opportunities for collaboration throughout the health system.

Technology

A new electronic health record, CS-Link, was introduced and has enhanced clinical connectedness and allowed patients to engage with their health journey. With CS-Link, Huntington now has a unified revenue cycle function, integrating Huntington Health, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Medical Network into one revenue cycle process.  

Additionally, to streamline support for patients, employees, and physicians, Huntington began sharing Cedars-Sinai’s Enterprise Information Services (EIS) department. EIS provides systems, applications and device support around the clock.

Clinical Growth

Through affiliation, Huntington Health and Cedars-Sinai have built a network of specialists based in the San Gabriel Valley.

These specialty care programs have been established or have seen exceptional growth in the past three years:

New Epilepsy Monitoring Unit—Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy can now be evaluated at Huntington’s unit, which is equipped with cameras and bedside electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring to track seizure activity. Patients can also receive MRI, PET and other imaging studies and neurocognitive, memory and language testing at the unit.

Huntington Cancer Center, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai Cancer—Enhanced to include new oncology specialists and services that benefit local patients, such as an onsite infusion center and direct access to the Cedars-Sinai Cancer clinical trial network.

The Cardiac, Vascular and Thoracic Surgery Program—Developed to give patients access to surgical teams for complex cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgeries.

Fair Oaks Women’s Health—One of the largest, longstanding obstetrical and gynecological practices in the San Gabriel Valley, officially joined the health system in the spring of 2023. The specialists offer obstetric expertise ranging from routine prenatal care to high-risk pregnancy.

Colorectal Surgery—A new program launched in March 2024 and offers surgical treatment of colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, colorectal cancer and other conditions affecting the lower digestive tract.

This team offers treatment in rhinology and sinus disease, otolaryngology, laryngology and endocrine surgery, and pediatric otolaryngology services.
