Torrance Memorial's 100th Anniversary Centennial Celebration
A Century of Care & Innovation
In 2025, Torrance Memorial Medical Center reaches a historic milestone with its 100th anniversary.
Torrance Memorial has grown from a local nonprofit hospital to a regional leader recognized as one of the top 3% of hospitals in the state. The first hospital in the South Bay has become the first choice in the region for expert care with state-of-the art facilities, expert multidisciplinary services and groundbreaking research.
Our progress is inspired by all of the pioneers, physicians, nurses, employees and volunteers who have given back to help us go forward.
Our founders, Jared and Helena Torrance, had a dream: to create a city that had businesses and services that could meet the growing needs of a community. They envisioned a hospital deeply rooted in improving the health of those living and working in this new community.
This vision laid the foundation for future generations of healthcare providers. The trailblazers who forged new paths, innovators who boldly led transformative change, philanthropists and community members whose generosity made a lasting impact, and leaders who guided us to become who we are today have all contributed to our success.
Who’ll be next to contribute to our culture of care and innovation?
Our researchers are leading clinical trials for promising new treatments. Others are working with the next generation of smart imaging technology to provide greater surgical precision and faster recovery times. Our leaders are preparing to guide us forward with future accreditations as an academic hospital, advancements in state-of-the-art AI diagnostics, and the continued expansion of our affiliation with Cedars-Sinai.
We are proud to be the first in the South Bay to serve and lead medical advancements and cutting-edge healthcare for our community over the next 100 years.
We’re just getting started.
