Primary care is the foundation of long-term health for adults – managing chronic conditions, monitoring medications, coordinating specialist referrals, and catching new health issues early before they escalate. For patients who can travel to a clinic, an established primary care practice with hospital affiliation provides the strongest coordination across the broader healthcare system. For patients who can’t easily get to a clinic – seniors with mobility limitations, post-surgical recovery, or those who simply prefer not to navigate clinic logistics – Doctor2me physicians visit at home.
The Huntington Health Physicians Madison office at 65 N Madison Avenue, Suite 800, in Pasadena is an adult medicine practice operated by Huntington Health Physicians (HHP) — the medical group of Huntington Health, a Cedars-Sinai affiliate. The Madison location is one of three HHP adult medicine offices in the Pasadena and San Marino area.

What Is Huntington Health Primary Care?
Huntington Health Physicians (HHP) is the medical group that operates the Madison Avenue office alongside two sister adult medicine offices in the Pasadena and San Marino area:
- Madison Office — 65 N. Madison Ave., Suite 800, Pasadena, CA 91101 (this location)
- Congress Office — 10 Congress St., Suite 208, Pasadena, CA 91105
- San Marino Office — 375 Huntington Dr., Suite G, San Marino, CA 91108
All three offices operate Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each location provides primary care services through adult medicine offices.
The Madison office is staffed by 10 practicing physicians and nurse practitioners covering Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Nurse Practitioner services.
How Is Huntington Health Connected to Cedars-Sinai?
Huntington Hospital, the parent organization of Huntington Health Physicians, is officially a Cedars-Sinai affiliate. The affiliation timeline:
- March 9, 2020 — Letter of Intent signed between Huntington Hospital and Cedars-Sinai Health System
- July 16, 2020 — Definitive Agreement signed
- 2021 — Affiliation became official after regulatory approvals from the Office of the California Attorney General
Huntington Hospital itself is a 619-bed nonprofit hospital in Pasadena, since 1892 – originally founded as Pasadena Hospital and renamed after receiving estate funding from Henry Edwards Huntington, a Southern California businessman whose family also founded The Huntington Library.
Despite affiliation, Huntington continues its local governance with its own employees, board of directors, and medical staff. The Cedars-Sinai Health System – itself established in 2017 as a platform for collaborative healthcare delivery – provides a wide variety of resources and expertise sharing, plus committed investment in information technology, ambulatory services expansion, and physician development.
Hospital credentials that matter for primary care patients:
- The San Gabriel Valley’s largest ED and only Level II Trauma Center, with vital services available 24/7, 365 days a year
- Six consecutive ‘A’ grades from The Leapfrog Group recognizing patient safety achievements
- Nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report in two specialties
- Granted Magnet® status (a nursing excellence designation) in 2011
For primary care patients, hospital affiliation matters because escalation – specialist consultation, emergency intervention, or hospitalization – happens within an established network rather than requiring transfers between systems. The Madison office benefits from coordinated care with Huntington Hospital through HHP’s own group of hospitalists – physicians who specialize in hospital-based care and coordinate inpatient stays for HHP primary care patients.
What Services Does the Madison Office Provide?
The Madison office is an adult medicine practice providing:
- Family Medicine — primary care for adult patients across health conditions
- Internal Medicine — adult-focused primary care, often with greater focus on complex or chronic conditions
- Nurse Practitioner services — primary care provided by board-certified nurse practitioners
- Telehealth visits — for patients who prefer remote consultation when clinically appropriate
Beyond primary care at the adult medicine offices, HHP also provides additional services at a separate Specialty Office in Pasadena:
- Endocrinology — diabetes, thyroid disorders, hormonal conditions
- Rheumatology — autoimmune and inflammatory joint conditions
- Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation — recovery and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal and neurological conditions
- Hospitalist coordination — for patients admitted to Huntington Hospital
How Do You Schedule an Appointment?
For new appointments, the HHP scheduling line at (626) 397-8368 handles bookings across all three adult medicine offices. The Madison office direct line is (626) 792-3141. The office is currently accepting new patients.

When Should You Choose Home-Based Care Instead?
A primary care clinic visit makes sense for routine annual check-ups, complex new symptoms requiring physical examination, vaccinations, and most diagnostic work. But for patients who struggle to get to the clinic – seniors with mobility limitations, post-surgical recovery, chronic illness flare-ups, or those who simply prefer not to deal with clinic transportation – home-based care fills the gap.
Doctor2me physicians visit at the patient’s address for follow-up checkups, chronic condition management (hypertension, diabetes, COPD), medication reviews, and acute issues that don’t require hospital-level care. Families can choose a specific physician from the Doctor2me directory when continuity with a known doctor matters – particularly useful for older patients managing multiple chronic conditions.
For patients who maintain a primary care relationship at the Huntington Health Madison office but want home-based care for specific situations (recovery from surgery, mobility-limited periods, or convenience), Doctor2me visits can be used alongside ongoing HHP care rather than as a replacement.
What About In-Home Caregiving for Seniors After Diagnosis?
For older adults who receive a new diagnosis at Huntington Health Primary Care – a new dementia diagnosis, progressing Parkinson’s, chronic conditions requiring increased daily support – the next question is often whether the patient can remain at home with help.
A Better Solution In Home Care is a Burbank-based in-home caregiving provider in the Doctor2me network serving Los Angeles County, including Pasadena. The agency provides non-medical caregiving support: companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation to medical appointments, and personal care assistance. For seniors who want to stay in their own home rather than transition to assisted living, in-home caregivers bridge the gap between independent living and residential care.
What About Home Health for Skilled Nursing After Discharge?
When a Huntington Hospital patient is discharged but still needs skilled nursing follow-up – wound care, IV antibiotics, physical therapy, or recovery monitoring – home health agencies provide clinical services at the patient’s home rather than requiring repeated clinic visits.
XL Care Home Health Agency is a home health provider in the Doctor2me network serving the Los Angeles area, including Pasadena. The agency provides skilled nursing visits, physical and occupational therapy, and post-acute recovery support – the clinical bridge between hospital discharge and full recovery.
What About Financial Help When a Senior Needs to Transition Out of Their Home?
Major medical events sometimes force the question of whether a senior can continue living in their longtime home. When the answer is no – the home is too large, requires too much maintenance, or carries safety risks the family can’t address – the next challenge is often financial: how to fund the transition to assisted living or memory care when the family’s wealth is locked in home equity.
Senior Home Transitional Services (SHTS) is a California-licensed senior transition company in the Doctor2me network. The tagline – “Funding Care. Easing Transitions. Honoring Every Senior’s Next Chapter” – reflects the core focus on financial logistics of senior life transitions. SHTS holds CA DRE License #01935760 (real estate) and NMLS License #1065145 (mortgage).
Three core services help bridge the financial gap during transition:
- Bridge Loans for Seniors — short-term loans that let a senior move into assisted living, memory care, or with family before their longtime home is sold. The loan is repaid when the home sells, so families don’t have to choose between waiting for a sale and accessing care immediately.
- Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) — a federally-insured reverse mortgage product that lets a senior access cash against home equity while remaining in the home. Useful when the senior wants to age in place but needs additional liquidity for in-home care, modifications, or daily expenses.
- Real Estate Solutions — guidance on selling the home, either to a direct buyer (faster, fewer contingencies, sometimes lower price) or through a traditional realtor process (potentially higher price, longer timeline). SHTS works with families to match the sale approach to the urgency of the transition.
For Pasadena families navigating both a medical decision (whether mom or dad can stay at home) and a financial decision (how to fund what comes next), having a senior-specialized financial partner can make the difference between a rushed move and a planned transition.
