LOS
ANGELES—The county board of supervisors last week approved of the
sale and lease of real property, paving the way for development of the
South Health Center.
The 33,000-square-foot health facility will be located on the campus
of the new Martin Luther King Jr. Medical Center and provide a number of
vital public health services for residents in the surrounding community.
This progress to develop the $20 million South Health Center Replacement
project highlights Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas’ vision for the
new medical center and serves as the first of many important milestones
for the region.
“The county’s primary goal is to provide the highest quality
of patient care in a compassionate, culturally competent manner in seismically
compliant,
state-of-the-art facilities,” Ridley-Thomas said.
The South Health Center will be located at the northwest corner of
120th Street and Wilmington Avenue in the unincorporated Willowbrook area.
The new outpatient public health center will provide services to
treat various conditions, including sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis
and communicable disease immunizations.
The supervisor said that through key public and private investments,
the new MLK Medical Center Campus will be a center of excellence for health
care delivery, urban health promotion and prevention, health workforce
development, academic research and teaching and economic development.
The project is expected to spark the development of additional assets,
including transportation and economic development, and create jobs.
“Our new capital investments in the region — through the MLK
Hospital, Multi-Service Ambulatory Care Center, MTA Rosa Parks Station
and the South
Health Center — will create over 10,000 new jobs in the community,” the
supervisor said.
“We are excited to see the South Health Center project moving forward,” he
continued. “I look forward to the groundbreaking and grand opening
of this center in the upcoming year." ...
