Simi Valley Hospital
Red-ribbon day for new imaging center
Simi Valley Hospital leadership, physicians and staff, as well as Chamber of Commerce and other community
and local government leaders, celebrated the official opening of the hospital’s Wood Ranch Imaging Center
on September 5 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The facility, located at 124 Macaw Lane in Simi Valley, offers a convenient option for people who live or
work in or around the Wood Ranch area of Simi Valley, as well as residents of Moorpark and Thousand Oaks.
Services in the 1,800-square-foot center include computed tomography (CT) scanning and X-ray, as well as
blood drawing and specimen collection and drop-off for lab tests.
The combination of services available means that many people will be able to complete all of their
diagnostic testing in a single visit.
