The largest building project ever undertaken by the County of Los Angeles is complete. Welcome to your new LAC+USC Medical Center!

The replacement hospital is made up of four buildings that cover more than three city blocks. The final phase of the move took place November 7th and 8th, 2008. The building consists of a Clinic Tower, Diagnostic and Treatment Tower, Inpatient Tower, and Subterranean Central Plant.

The new hospital was planned and designed to be the County’s flagship hospital: serving as the backbone of the County’s safety net, providing major regional and community emergency, trauma, and critical care services.

There are a vast number of clinical and diagnostic improvements over the old hospital. The new facility provides the same medical services the community has come to depend on. In addition, we are able to provide patients and hospital staff with the latest technologies, permitting enhanced responsiveness to address changing health care needs.

We ask that the community use the hospital’s emergency facilities for their intended purpose —for critical, life-threatening emergencies. With our County-wide network of partner clinics, we can help you find a primary care physician for non-urgent an ongoing care. A primary physician will help you manage health conditions and diseases that require regular check-ups and screenings. An established partnership between health care provider and patient is essential to staying well and avoiding emergencies.
