Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center received national recognition as one of the most beautiful hospitals in the U.S. With 24,015 votes, the hospital came in tenth place in the national contest.

Kaiser Permanente was one of more than 80 hospitals nominated in the 2024 “Most Beautiful Hospitals” contest, which is sponsored by national healthcare staffing firm Soliant Health. The prestigious award recognizes hospitals for their commitment to developing and improving their campuses, facilities and staff, thereby creating holistic and healing environments.

With a strong emphasis on preventive care and innovative treatment options, Kaiser Permanente consistently strives to improve patient outcomes and enhance overall community health. The unique needs of patients are met through the offering of a full spectrum of healthcare services, including surgical procedures and specialized treatments to routine wellness checkups.

“At Soliant, we believe that a beautiful hospital environment can play a crucial role in patient recovery and overall well-being. Each year, we are inspired by the innovative designs and thoughtful touches that make these hospitals not just places of healing, but places of comfort and hope. We congratulate all the winners of the ‘Most Beautiful Hospitals’ contest and commend them for creating such exceptional spaces for patients, families and staff,” Soliant CEO David Alexander said.

More than 200 outstanding hospitals have been recognized since Soliant began the program in 2009. The annual contest seeks to discover hospitals in the U.S. that are not only beautiful but have unique designs, landscapes and elements, such as soothing art, gardens or supportive staff who know that laughter is sometimes the best medicine.
