Ventura County Medical Center operates as a hospital within the Hospitals and Health Care industry. The information provided ties the organization to the Westlake Hospital brand, including a web address at westlakehosp.com and activity around a Melrose Park, Illinois location in the Chicago area. In 2019, Pipeline Health LLC acquired Westlake Hospital, and plans included opening a new location in Melrose Park shortly thereafter. Public reports from September 2019 describe alleged violations of U.S. labor laws and fraud related to the creation of shell companies used to conceal the entity from regulators. The hospital’s history also includes earlier leadership appointments and community outreach activities, such as a cereal drive in 2016. These items illustrate a mid-size hospital facility operating in Illinois with connections to a broader health care network.
