The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors recently approved $1.695 billion for the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center replacement program. The investment will bring state-of-the-art healthcare services to the 72-acre medical campus, and it will ensure Harbor-UCLA Medical Center complies with Senate Bill 953, which requires all hospitals to be structurally resilient in the event of a major earthquake.
The 468,000-square-foot inpatient building will hold up to 346 beds, a new emergency department and rooftop helicopter landing pad. The project will provide more than 800 local jobs throughout its five-year construction phase.
“This is a vision for the future of healthcare in LA County that we are now closer to making a reality,” says chair Holly J. Mitchell. “$1.695 billion is an investment in healthcare centered in humanity, sustainability, and exceptional care. The upgrades to the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center will develop a modern medical campus that serves the totality of our resident’s healthcare needs while protecting the surrounding environment it is built in.”
