We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.
Since 1972, we’ve brought a personal touch to patient care
In the late 1950s, the city of Yorba Linda had fewer than 2,000 people. Just a few years later, the space industry transformed the area — bringing both jobs and people who needed healthcare services. So a founding team of 19 community physicians decided to open a hospital to serve the needs of its many new residents. Placentia-Linda Hospital opened its doors in September 1972, with a mission of quality healthcare with a personal touch.
Placentia-Linda’s founding physicians:
Dr. David Armstrong Dr. Robert Barrett Dr. Lloyd Carnahan Dr. Dan Chiles Dr. John Davis Dr. John Denman Dr. David Ewing Dr. Russell Ewing Dr. Marcus Gartner Dr. Spencer Gilbert Dr. R. Scott Hall (Founding Chairman of the Governing Board) Dr. Richard Kenfield Dr. Gordon McCoy Dr. Ray McGinty Dr. Paul Ovando Dr. Raymond Pence Dr. John Schmidt (Founding Chief of Staff) Dr. Theodore Tsuyuki Dr. Ardath Wightman
Today, it’s still our mission to provide that personal touch — whether you’re here as a patient or with a loved one. It’s been part of our culture since 1972 and helps account for our success as an outstanding community hospital.
