Marina Del Rey Hospital is a 145-bed acute care, Joint Commission accredited[1] hospital offering general acute medical services and 24/7 emergency care. Marina Del Rey Hospital, originally known as Marina Mercy Hospital underwent construction in 1969. In 1980 the Hospital was purchased by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, founders of Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital in Inglewood, California.[2] They renamed the Marina del Rey facility Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital. The two Daniel Freeman hospitals were acquired in 2001 by Tenet Healthcare. The name of the Marina hospital was changed in 2004 when the Hospital transferred to the Centinela Freeman HealthSystem, and became the Centinela-Freeman Regional Medical Center, Marina Campus. In November 2007, the Hospital was renamed Marina Del Rey Hospital.
