Cuts Ribbon with the HB Chamber at New Magnolia Office
On February 5, 2025, the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce (HBCOC) hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for Edinger Medical Group’s brand-new facility located at 20981 Magnolia Street, on the corner of Magnolia Street and Atlanta Avenue.
Huntington Beach chamber and city council members gathered with the Edinger Medical Group team at the front entrance of the building to spread the news to the community that a local family favorite has opened a new office and they’re accepting new patients.
Sue Prescott, HBCOC board member and proud patient of Edinger Medical Group, opened the ceremony by highlighting the group’s recent win as “Best Healthcare Medical Professional” in the HBCOC’s “Best of HB” Awards on January 23.
Subsequently, Sue began interviewing President and CEO of Edinger Medical Group, Dr. Stanley Arnold.
“For those who are not familiar with Edinger, we’re a primary care group that’s been in existence since 1961. Our group is comprised of 11 physicians; we have 10 internal medicine doctors, 1 family practitioner, 4 nurse practitioners and 75 staff members,” said Arnold.
“Our practice was originally founded on Edinger Avenue. We moved 30 years ago to the Beach Stone Plaza on Beach Boulevard. We found this location recently and thought it would be an ideal location to relocate to,” he continued.
Arnold shares that the newly renovated building, which was formerly a Citi Bank, now offers a spacious lobby, 10 exam rooms, and a dedicated X-ray room.
Accompanying Dr. Arnold at the ceremony was Dr. Tamara Fogarty, Dr. Nicole Chow, Dr. Victor Lin, Dr. Betty Yu, Dr. Cambria Hembree and Dr. Karen Don as well as three of their nurse practitioners, Jeanie Lam, Rebecca Lee and Lana Nguyen, and several directors and managers.
Huntington Beach City Councilman Butch Twining stepped in to make a few closing remarks, congratulating the group on their new business venture and presenting them with an Award of Commendation from the City of Huntington Beach.
“The only place I feel safer than around a bunch of doctors and nurses is at the police department, so this is really a safe place to be,” says Councilman Twining.
Janelle Otenza, assistant to assembly member Diane Dixon who represents the City of Huntington Beach in Sacramento, and Shawn Wood, Chairman of the HBCOC Board, also presented the group with awards and recognition just before the countdown to the ribbon cutting, which marked the end of the ceremony.
Edinger Medical Group’s ribbon cutting with the HBCOC was filmed and published on the chamber’s YouTube channel. To watch it now, visit youtube.com/@thehbchamber.
