California Leasing Shuttered DTLA Hospital from Verity, Seton Medical Center in Daly City
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has directed more than $42 million in emergency funding to expand California’s health care infrastructure and secure equipment and services to support California’s response to COVID-19. The State of California is leasing two hospitals for three months, at a total cost of $30 million. The facilities include St. Vincent Medical Center in Downtown Los Angeles (pictured) and Seton Medical Center in Daly City.
Verity Health System of California owns the 366-bed St. Vincent facility at 2131 W 3rd St. The hospital, which fell into bankruptcy in 2018 and was eventually closed in January 2020, will be re-opened as soon as possible.
Los Angeles City Councilman Mitch O’Farrell told the Los Angeles Times, “With everything turned upside down due to the coronavirus pandemic, I can’t think of a more timely, urgent purpose for St. Vincent hospital in the 13th District. I commend [Gov. Gavin Newsom] for taking this action and in his handling of the crisis so far.”
Seton Medical Center is currently operating, and will expand capacity to provide care for up to 120 COVID-19 patients beginning as soon as this week.
