Located on a 12-acre site nestled near the foothills of Camarillo, the hospital was built with five acres that were donated originally by the Berylwood Investment Company. James P. Lockett designed the facility using a hexagon shape first seen in early Roman architecture.〔http://www.dignityhealth.org/pleasantvalley/about-us/history〕 In 1976, Pleasant Valley Hospital received accreditation from the Joint Commission of Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAHO). That same year, the hospital reached full occupancy of its 46 beds for the first time since opening. In 1986, ground breaking began for the new 99-bed skilled nursing facility. The first floor's 49 beds were used for rehabilitation of stroke victims, heart attack victims, and patients on respirators. The second floor's 50 beds were used for long-term care patients. In 1993, Pleasant Valley Hospital in Camarillo became known as St. John’s Pleasant Valley Hospital, after it merged with St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard. Together, St. John’s Regional Medical Center and St. John’s Pleasant Valley Hospital represent the largest acute-care healthcare organization in Ventura County. In 1997, St. John’s hospitals joined Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) as part of the CHW Central Coast system of hospitals. After the merger of the two hospitals, St. John’s Pleasant Valley Hospital has undergone significant growth. The hospital has added important technology, including wound treatment and hyperbaric medicine oxygen chambers, as well as the latest in diagnostic imaging equipment. In 2014, the hospital began construction on an expansion of the tower which will add an additional 50 private patient rooms. The new tower is expected to open in 2016.
