LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center was officially renamed Los Angeles General Medical Center during a ceremony held May 3 in the shadow of the iconic Boyle Heights structure.
It’s a new beginning for the county’s most distinctive and busiest healthcare facility, which has been in operation for 55 years. The newly named hospital will also have a new motto: “Exceptional Care, Healthy Communities,” and a new mission to build healthy communities by being a trusted provider of excellent, whole-person care to all, according to a statement from Los Angeles County Health Services.
