South Bay
A full-service facility in beautiful Harbor City
Situated on a scenic, 27-acre campus, Kaiser Permanente's South Bay Medical Center is a full-service, modern facility offering care in all major specialties and most subspecialties. Our exceptional service earned the Southern California Permanente Medical Group (SCPMG) the highest ranking among healthcare centers in the South Bay-Torrance area from the California Office of the Patient Advocate. The agency's 2007 Health Care Quality Report Card gave SCPMG seven out of a possible eight stars for overall clinical care. To complement our on-site operations, we've established satellite medical offices located in Gardena, Lomita, Long Beach, Torrance and Carson.
