LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The Board of Supervisors voted to name the
inpatient building at County-USC Medical Center the Gloria Molina Medical
Pavilion and a new county service center in the San Fernando Valley as the Zev
Yaroslavsky Family Support Center.
Acting Chief Executive Officer Brence Culp cited Molina’s “singular
leadership to deliver a major public hospital.” The medical center opened in
Boyle Heights in 2008, replacing the dilapidated 1930s-era General Hospital.
Yaroslavsky championed the concept of a family support center that would
provide a single stop for critical services ranging from health care to
social and child welfare services.
Culp applauded the facility as “more than just the construction of a
building. It was an opportunity to build a better service delivery model.”
The board’s vote was unanimous.
