UCI Health – Fountain Valley is a for-profit hospital in Fountain Valley, California, United States. It was formerly owned by health care provider Tenet Healthcare and is now owned by UC Irvine Health.

History

[edit]

In early March 2009, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital was fined $25,000 by the California Department of Public Health after a nurse gave a patient oral medicine intravenously.[2][3]

In late August 2012, Fountain Valley Regional Hospital was fined $25,000 by the California Department of Public Health,[4] after a nurse improperly removed a gastrostomy tube from a patient.[5][6] In late December, Fountain Valley Hospital was dropped by Health Net, after Tenet Healthcare wanted a higher reimbursement rate.[7][8]

In late January 2014, the California Department of Public Health fined Fountain Valley Hospital $75,000 after one of its patients died.[9][10]

On February 1, 2018, Sodexo workers went on a one-day strike at the hospital for better pay and benefits.[11][12] In late May, they won a 42% pay increase that would raise pay from $11 to $15.61 by January 2020.[13][14]

In early July 2020, a complaint was filed against Fountain Valley Regional Hospital by the National Union of Healthcare Workers to the California Department of Public Health.[15] When the California Department of Public Health investigated they found COVID-19 patients not being quarantined, physicians not correctly washing their hands and other violations. After seeing these violations the hospital was fined.[15]

On May 6, 2021, workers went on strike for one hour to protest low pay, understaffing and unsafe working conditions after a worker died at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital.[16][17][18] In late July, caregivers approved a strike for hire pay and better benefits.[19] In late August, they approved a new contract.[20][21][22]

In late October 2022, registered nurses and other healthcare workers at the hospital approved a strike, for a new contract that would address staffing shortages, safety issues and to replace outdated equipment.[23][24] On December 1, they approved the new contract without going on strike, increasing their pay by 41%.[25][26]

On February 1, 2024, UCI Health which is part of the University of California, Irvine agreed to purchase Fountain Valley Regional Hospital from Tenet Healthcare.[27][28][29] On March 27, UCI Health officially took over the management of Fountain Valley Hospital[30][31][32] and rebranded it to UCI Health - Fountain Valley.[32]
