Adventist Health Transfer Center

At Adventist Health Simi Valley, our goal is to help make the transfer of patients from referring facilities as seamless and timely as possible for the patient, their family and the referring provider.

Patient transfers start with this call

The Adventist Health Transfer Center is your single source for all patient transfers and direct admissions. Simply call 1 (833) Go-To-ADV (1 (833) 468-6238), and we’ll do the rest.

Expert nurses handle everything

The Adventist Health Transfer Center is staffed by registered nurses trained in critical care and emergency medicine. When you call, one of our experienced nurses will:

• Take your call and identify the appropriate or preferred hospital and specialists to care for your patient based on capability, capacity and patient preference.
• Facilitate a recorded call between the referring and accepting caregiver.
• Complete a quick registration.
• Arrange the bed assignment.
• Collect necessary clinical details for hospital admission.
• Provide admission information to the referring provider.
• Arrange for transportation, if needed.

Always here for you

The Adventist Health Transfer Center is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We’re here for physicians, nurses and other authorized healthcare providers who need to:

• Transfer a patient into or out of an Adventist Health hospital or medical center.
• Admit a patient directly from a physician’s office, urgent care center, or other healthcare facility.
