St. Thomas Health Care

The beginning of St. Thomas Healthcare’s success started in Anaheim California where Dr. Robert Howard MD began practicing medicine in the 1980s. It was there he and his wife Dr. Ellane Howard (Ph.D) built Howard Healthcare’s flagship facility, Anaheim Medical Hospital, to serve the community. To date, Howard Global Holdings (parent company of St. Thomas Health Care has invested more than $1.1 billion in capital improvements for its hospitals, urgent care clinics and medical practice since 2005. St. Thomas Healthcare has expanded to 3 hospitals in the state of California, 2 assisted living facilities, 2 hospice care centers, home healthcare, 15 dental care clinics, telemedicine, behavioral health care and over 170 urgent care clinics nationwide. In recognition of our impressive growth and success, St. Thomas Health Care has been named “The Fastest Growing Health Care System” in the country by Healthy Times. Every healthcare practice acquired in financial distress has been transformed and none have been sold or closed since acquisition. Our experienced turnaround team led by Dr. Chris Low has a record of success in finding operational efficiencies and minimizing bureaucracy to create an efficient healthcare delivery model. Our decentralized structure allows local leadership to make the right choices for their community, while benefiting from corporate guidance and support.
