History

In 1924 a two story, 25 bed hospital was built on the corner of 4th Ave. & College St in Covina, CA. In 1929 Covina Hospital expanded to add 25 more beds.

History
In the late 1950s, the Immaculate Heart of Mary (an order of Catholic sisters) had a vision to elevate health care in the growing city of West Covina by building a new hospital for the residents. They sent Sister Columba (Josephine Kohler) in an old Buick with only $25 to get the project started. She organized business & community leaders and formed an auxiliary. On November 19, 1962 Queen of the Valley Hospital opened a four story hospital. In 1968 Queen of the Valley expanded from 4 floors and 150 beds to 6 floors and 263 beds. In 1972, with the onset of new technology, the Infant Care Center opened (now called the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Level III). In 1981 the new Emergency Department opened at Queen of the Valley Hospital followed by the certification of its emergency heliport in 1983.
