An EDAP designation is awarded to hospitals that have demonstrated their capability in handling these situations. Valley Presbyterian is a designated EDAP by the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency. In addition, Valley Presbyterian Hospital is also designated as a Pediatric Medical Center (PMC) by the Los Angeles County Emergency Services Agency for critically ill pediatric patients that require admission to an intensive care unit.
