PLATFORM : A Hospital Bonus

The unique tripartite project between USC, Los Angeles County and National Medical Enterprises, which has resulted in the new USC University Hospital, represents a ray of hope for increasing services to the poor. This facility will provide the technology, resources and funding needed to attract and retain outstanding physicians who will be dedicated to teaching, research and service to both the public and private patients. New faculty and new services will be available to public patients. This would not be possible without University Hospital.

The medical faculty at LAC-USC has been attracted by the university’s School of Medicine and the challenge and opportunity to care for seriously ill public patients. The medical school’s history is built on that premise, and the geographic location of the new University Hospital (next door) ensures that this will continue into the future.
