Brea Emergency Room Services Shifted to Surrounding Hospitals

Due to the closure and bankruptcy of Brea Community Hospital and its emergency room, the Orange County Health Care Agency advises the public of alternative sources of care. Persons with a life-threatening emergency who call 911 will be taken to the closest, appropriate emergency room by paramedics.

Patients who need medical care should check with their physician or health care provider for advice about on the most appropriate facility. For hospital emergency services, hospitals located in the surrounding area include: St. Jude Medical Center, 101 E. Valencia Mesa Drive, Fullerton; Placentia-Linda Community Hospital, 1301 N. Rose Drive, Placentia; and Whittier Hospital Medical Center, 9080 Colima Road, Whittier.
