About the area

The city of Downey is rooted in culture, history, and community. As one of Los Angeles's gateway cities between Los Angeles and Orange Counties and bordered by multiple major freeways, residents enjoy Downey's quiet, family-friendly environment as well as convenient access to attractions and social scenes in both counties.

Working here

Infused with a spirit of teamwork and collaboration, SCPMG Downey has a strong culture of safety—emphasizing both patient safety as well as caregivers' ability to raise concerns and have a voice. Our leadership is dedicated to accessibility and a flat hierarchy, building trust between physicians and ancillary staff. There is a significant focus on innovation—Downey was the region's first medical center to perform same-day total joint surgery—and on efficiency, improving workflows across the medical center and ancillary offices. At the same time, wellness—both physical and mental—is emphasized, with regular opportunities to dine out, socialize, and exercise together. With a high level of tertiary care, one of the region's largest NICU's, and an OB and anesthesia staff comprised of full physicians, Downey delivers exemplary service to its diverse, high-risk-profile patient population.

Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center has a CCS certified 17 bed Pediatric Ward along with being responsible for medical pediatric patients on medical/surgical units when not needing pediatric-specific care. Along with the ward, there is an 8 bed PICU with 24/7 Pediatric Intensivist coverage. KP Downey is a member of the Children's Hospital Association and provides tertiary level care for the patients it receives locally and from other KP centers without pediatrics. Staffing includes other Pediatric Hospital Medicine board certified teammates along with a full compliment of pediatric subspecialty support, with the exclusion of neurosurgery and cardiothoracic surgery which are transferred to one of our other pediatric centers. Work includes a mix of days and nights, consults in our Emergency Department, rounding on newborns (though during the day there is a separate rounder), working with consultants along with committee work and other activities to give back to the community.
