Your physician may also want you to have some pre-operative testing done, order the requested tests, and give you instructions on what to bring and what time to arrive at the hospital on the day of your procedure. Your physician will also provide you with post-operative instructions and answer any questions you may have regarding your stay. There are certain circumstances that may require these tests to be performed at a different facility in order to be covered by your insurance. You must contact your primary care physician or your insurance carrier to determine if this is the case. If you have any questions, you may contact our Admitting Department at 626-570-1606 Ext 3240. The Admitting Office is open Monday - Friday from 5:30 am to 6:30 pm.

Perhaps no other type of scanner is as utilitarian as CT. These scanners use powerful, focused X-ray pulses to capture detailed cross-sections of the body, including soft tissues, bone and blood vessels. CTs are useful for detecting cancers — such as brain tumors or cancer in the lungs or abdomen — kidney stones, bleeding, infections and fractures. In Alhambra Hospital's Emergency Room, our CT scanner is invaluable for fast scans of traumatic internal injuries, as well as rapid diagnosis of strokes. We are pleased to announce that Alhambra Hospital Medical Center now has the Toshiba Aquilion™ 128 CT scanner, the most advanced 128-slice CT scanner available. The Aquilion delivers uncompromising image quality — showing even the smallest vessels and tissue, like those in the heart and lungs — for quick and precise disease detection.
Colon Cancer
"New technologies, such as Endoscopic Ultrasound at our Advanced Endoscopy Center, allow us to better diagnose and stage diseases such as pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, duodenal cancer, and colon cancer. New incisionless techniques such as EMR and ESD now allow us to cure premalignant lesions and early cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, avoiding traditional surgery and keeping our patients' bodies intact. Furthermore, these technologies improve the patient's quality of life, as they are able to go back to their normal activities the next day," stated Dr. Mainor Antillon.
Endoscopy
The recent opening of the new Advanced Endoscopy Center at Alhambra Hospital Medical Center marks the first community hospital in the San Gabriel Valley to offer a full array of advanced endoscopic procedures dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases. This is the commitment of the shared vision and mission between Alhambra Hospital Medical Center and Allied Pacific IPA for a joint effort to provide high tertiary quality and yet personalized care within our community.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Three out of four people with lung cancer have incurable, locally advanced, or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Their five-year survival rate is less than 5% when diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer.
• Degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebral vascular accident and other neurological conditions with respiratory failure
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-a minimally invasive outpatient procedure to accurately evaluate and diagnosis upper and lower digestive trait diseases;
MRI
Nuclear medicine differs from other exams, such as X-ray, CT or MRI, because it images organ function, rather than just the anatomy. This means that it can show how an organ is working, not simply what it looks like. This allows us to study the activity of many organs including the thyroid, heart, stomach and kidneys.
Radiology
The pertinent part of the medical record is available to patients at no charge. This includes the discharge summary, history & physical, consultations, procedural reports, radiology (diagnostic imaging) and laboratory reports. For copies of additional portions of the medical record, a fee of 25 cents per page will be charged to you. A bill may be mailed prior to the records being copied and sent to you. Money orders will be accepted via mail made out to Alhambra Hospital Medical Center. There is no charge if the copies of the records are sent to physicians for your follow up care or treatment.
X-Rays
Nuclear Medicine
A nuclear medicine exam is a safe and painless procedure which utilizes radioactive material to detect, diagnose and treat certain diseases.
Computed Tomography
Early detection is a proven, successful strategy for fighting many forms of cancer. Alhambra Hospital Medical Center offers screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) for people at high risk for lung cancer, the only recommended screening test for the disease. CT lung screening is a noninvasive, painless procedure that uses low-dose x-rays to screen the lungs for cancer in just 30 seconds. CT lung screening allows the radiologist to look at different levels, or slices, of the lungs using a rotating X-ray beam. It is performed on a multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) scanner and can detect smaller nodules or cancer than standard chest x-rays. A tumor or nodule is a mass of extra cells that grows on the lungs. It can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). By detecting malignant tumors in an early stage with CT lung screening, intervention can occur at a time when the cancer still has promising survival rates and is localized to the lungs.
Our teams of therapists provide an intense coordinated program of therapeutic activities designed to improve strength, mobility and communication activity, and independence in self-care activities and safety in the home. Each individual therapist has specialized training and skills in the management of different aspects of human functionality, and they work together to help our patients achieve maximum independence.
Occupational Therapy
Patients participate in 3 hours of therapy 5-6 times per week. All patients receive Physical and Occupational Therapy. Additionally, Speech Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, and Psychology services are available as needed. We make every effort to customize your loved one's care so that upon discharge, both the patient and the family feel prepared for the transition home. One way we do this is by performing home assessments prior to discharge: the clinical staff goes with the patient to their home and assesses if there are any suggestions we can offer to make the home environment safer.
