About Barlow Respiratory Hospital
120 Years of Care
Barlow Respiratory Hospital was founded by Dr. W. Jarvis Barlow in 1902 as the Barlow Sanatorium, a charity hospital for tuberculosis patients. Since then, Barlow Respiratory Hospital has maintained an uninterrupted focus on respiratory care and is among only a handful of continuously operating respiratory hospitals in the United States.

Three locations:
Los Angeles, Whittier and Van Nuys.

Destination of Choice
Barlow Respiratory Hospital is the only not-for-profit long-term acute care hospital (LTCH) in California and the destination of choice for weaning patients from prolonged mechanical ventilation. Critically ill patients are referred to Barlow Respiratory Hospital from nearly 100 hospital intensive care units (ICUs) in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and Southern California and is the destination of choice for patients and families who trust us with their care.
