Antelope Valley Hospital

Background

Antelope Valley Hospital is a 420-bed district hospital located in the city of Lancaster in northern Los Angeles County. As the area’s only full-service hospital, AVH provides a full array of medical/surgical services and is the only Level II trauma center within a 50-mile radius. Despite having served the community for more than 60 years, there was a strong feeling from the board of directors that local residents were not aware of the breadth of services offered by AVH or its high-standing medical capabilities. Kevin/Ross was engaged to help address this challenge by reintroducing the hospital and its competencies to the community.
