Welcome to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. In order to make your Shabbat stay here as comfortable as possible, we are happy to provide the following services.

    NOTE: Saperstein Sabbath Entrance Temporarily Relocated
    The Sabbath entrance to the Saperstein Critical Care Tower will be changed temporarily starting on Friday, July 15, to accommodate construction work on the Plaza Level of the Saperstein building.
