In an Era of Uncertainty, Local Healthcare Continues to Provide
Healthcare is big business in Santa Monica regardless of pandemics, vigorous actionism or a more “traditional” season of allergies and Summer-activity injuries.
Two of the city’s largest employers are UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, and Providence St. John’s Health Center. The healthcare sector accounts for 11% of the city’s employment and impacts the community’s wellbeing in more ways than one. As a result, Santa Monica residents have their choice of a number of outstanding healthcare providers and world-class facilities.
