Pasadena’s Fair Oaks Women’s Health Cements Ties With Huntington Health, an Affiliate of Cedars-Sinai

One of the largest, longstanding obstetrical and gynecological practices in the San Gabriel Valley has officially joined Huntington Health, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai. This exciting development delivers the promise of Huntington Health’s affiliation with a world-class health system, enhancing access to local care with providers who patients know and trust.

The six specialists at Fair Oaks Women’s Health will continue caring for patients at their longstanding location on the Huntington Health campus.

“The expert team at Fair Oaks Women’s Health has provided the highest-quality care to patients in Pasadena and surrounding communities for decades,” said Lori J. Morgan, MD, MBA, president and CEO of Huntington Health. “Their physicians have long served on the medical staff at Huntington Hospital and contributed to our Family Birth Center and mother-baby unit, which earned the highest possible designation in U.S. News & World Report’s recent list of ‘Best Hospitals for Maternity Care 2022-2023.’ We are honored to welcome them to the Huntington Health family.”

Fair Oaks Women’s Health obstetric expertise ranges from routine prenatal care to high-risk pregnancy.

An additional specialist fluent in Mandarin will be joining soon as well.

“Welcoming one of the most respected OB-GYN practices in the San Gabriel Valley into Cedars-Sinai Health System not only builds the outpatient network for our affiliate, Huntington Health, but also allows for access to subspecialized care when needed,” said Jill Martin, executive vice president of Cedars-Sinai Medical Network.
