In 1980, the hospital was purchased by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, founders of Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital in Inglewood, California. They renamed the Marina del Rey facility Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital. The two Daniel Freeman hospitals were acquired in 2001 by Tenet Healthcare. The name of the Marina hospital was changed in 2004 when the Hospital transferred to the Centinela Freeman HealthSystem, and became the Centinela-Freeman Regional Medical Center, Marina Campus. In November 2007, the hospital was renamed Marina Del Rey Hospital.
